Sonia Sotomayor will return to her hometown for New Year's Eve to help lead one of New York City's most well-known rituals: the ball drop in Times Square.
She will press the crystal button Tuesday night to lower the ball and lead the 60-second countdown to midnight, organizers of the event said Sunday.
She will be the first U.S. Supreme Court justice to perform the task.
