Bernette Johnson was sworn in Friday as the first black chief justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court, less than four months after her colleagues resolved a dispute over whether she was entitled to the position.
Johnson took the oath of office during a brief ceremony a day after her predecessor, Catherine "Kitty" Kimball, formally retired. A public ceremony marking her investiture is scheduled for February 28 on the courthouse steps in New Orleans’ French Quarter.
