Robert
Sweet is a Senior Judge for the Southern District of New York. Prior to
taking the bench, Judge Sweet served as the deputy mayor of New York City
from 1966-69 and was a partner and associate in several New York City
law firms. Judge Sweet led dozens of federal judges in refusing to hear
drug cases in the late 1980s as a way of protesting regressive mandatory
minimum sentencing guidelines. |
