Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s investiture ceremony is to take place later today, and the President and Vice President are scheduled to attend.

According to CBS News, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, their spouses, Attorney General Merrick Garland and Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar will attend the invitation-only event. The ceremony marks the start of the high court’s next term, which starts Monday.

During the ceremony, Jackson will sit in the same chair used by Chief Justice John Marshall, the fourth chief justice who sat on the court from 1801 until he died in 1835. Marshall’s chair has been used for the investiture of every justice since 1972. Chief Justice John Roberts will give the judicial oath to Jackson. No cameras are allowed, but photos will be taken when Jackson leaves the ceremony and takes the traditional walk down the 36 marble steps at the front of the columned building.

In June, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made history when she was sworn in as the first Black woman to join the U.S. Supreme Court. Nominated by President Biden from a shortlist of highly qualified candidates, Jackson was elevated from federal appeals judge to the high court on April 7, in a 53-47 confirmation vote in the Senate. The 104th associate justice joins a conservative-dominated high court. She will occupy the bench as critical cases on affirmative action and voting rights in the upcoming session.

Looking ahead to the high court’s next term, which starts next month, the justices are expected to hear cases that directly impact Black Americans. Two affirmative action cases are on the docket. They challenge the use of race in admissions at a public university (the University of North Carolina) and at a private university (Harvard). The court has also agreed to hear a congressional redistricting map case from Alabama involving the packing of Black voters into a single congressional district that dilutes their voting power, which Section 2 of the landmark Voting Rights Act prohibits. The court’s decision can affect a similar case in Louisiana.

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is the 116th justice to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.
