Ketanji Brown Jackson to be sworn in as Supreme Court justice as Stephen Breyer officially retires
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will be sworn in as an associate justice of the Supreme Court on Thursday at noon, when Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement becomes official, the court said Wednesday. She will be the first Black woman to serve on the high court.
At the swearing-in ceremony for Jackson, Chief Justice John Roberts will administer the constitutional oath, while Breyer, for whom she clerked, will administer the judicial oath. Jackson, a judge on the federal appeals court in Washington, was confirmed by the Senate in a bipartisan vote in April.
Breyer, 83, told President Biden in a letter that his retirement would take effect at noon on Thursday, bringing his nearly 28-year tenure on the court to an end.
