WASHINGTON - Ketanji Brown Jackson is set to be sworn in on Thursday as the U.S. Supreme Court’s 116th justice and the first Black woman to serve on the high court.
The ceremony, which is being livestreamed at 12 p.m. ET, will coincide with the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer, whom Jackson is replacing.
Jackson, 51, will recite two oaths required of Supreme Court justices, one administered by Breyer and the other by Chief Justice John Roberts.
Her swearing-in comes after the court issued its final opinions earlier Thursday in a consequential term that included overturning Roe v.
