Justice Jackson will join the highest court in the US at a pivotal moment in its 233-year history.
Ketanji Brown Jackson has been sworn in as the newest associate Supreme Court justice, becoming the first black woman to serve on the nation's highest court.
In recent weeks it delivered several blockbuster decisions - overturning the 50-year-old Roe v Wade decision on abortion, striking down a New York law restricting gun-carrying rights, and limiting the US Environmental Protection Agency's power to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Mr Breyer congratulated his successor on Thursday, saying "her hard work, integrity, and intelligence have earned her a place on this court."
