Elena Kagan, 50, was sworn in as the newest U.S. Supreme Court justice Aug. 7.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Kagan is now the 112th U.S. Supreme Court justice—and its fourth female judge ever. Now, three of the justices on the court (Kagan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor) are women.
Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office. Afterwards, he said to Kagan, “We look forward to serving with you in our common calling.”
The U.S. Senate approved Kagan 63-37. She will be formally installed Oct. 1; the justices start their next term Oct. 4.
