NEWARK, Del. (AP) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is visiting Delaware to talk about her recently published memoir.

Official at the University of Delaware were expecting a big crowd for Thursday afternoon's appearance by Sotomayor at the Bob Carpenter Center.

Sotomayor will discuss her best-selling memoir, entitled "My Beloved World," which was published earlier this year. Sotomayor, the first Hispanic justice on the Supreme Court, was born in New York to Puerto Rican parents and grew up in the Bronx.

Sotomayor was nominated for the Supreme Court in 2009 by President Barack Obama and sworn in later that year.
