Chief Justice Debra Todd Installation

JANUARY 20, 2023 - PITTSBURGH, PA

Justice Debra Todd Formally Installed as First Female Chief Justice in History of Pa Supreme Court
Surrounded by family, friends and colleagues, Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Debra Todd made history as she was formally sworn-in as Pennsylvania's 58th Chief Justice, becoming the first woman installed as chief in the Court's 300-year history.

"Today my heart is full of joy and gratitude," said Chief Justice Debra Todd. Joy in arriving at this moment and gratitude for all the strong and determined women who paved the way and for those who supported me throughout my journey.

"It means the world to me to take the oath like so many distinguished jurists before me, while forging new ground for women and reaffirming my commitment to support, obey and defend the Constitution of the United States and of this commonwealth," said Todd. "My path to this point has been guided by a belief which was instilled in me at an early age, that with hard work and dedication, little girls could achieve anything."
