Elena Kagan was sworn in as the 112th U.S. Supreme Court justice and its fourth woman ever, taking the oath of office at the high court two days after the Senate confirmed her.
Kagan, 50, the former dean of Harvard Law School, pledged to “do equal right to the poor and to the rich” as she took the second of two required oaths from Chief Justice John Roberts, who congratulated her and welcomed her to the court.
