Pathways to the Bench: U.S. District Court Judge Juan Sánchez

U.S. District Court Judge Juan R. Sánchez, of Philadelphia, moved at age 12 from Puerto Rico to New York where he learned English, excelled in school, and developed his baseball talents. Baseball helped him assimilate and make friends, but it was his passion for public service that led him to the federal bench. He still plays baseball on a league and brings his work ethic and dedication to the diamond and to the courthouse every day.
