The ceremony to swear in Judge Serge Georges to the Supreme Judicial court, like most other events during the pandemic, was scaled back from the usual fanfare that accompanies such affairs.
But Georges, who wore a maroon Boston College Eagles facemask while taking the oath of office, still welcomed family and friends to mark the moment, including one former classmate from his undergraduate days at Chestnut Hill who traveled all the way from Hawaii.

‘I won’t let you down’: Serge Georges Jr., Boston Municipal Court judge, sworn into Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Updated Dec 16, 2020;
Serge Georges Jr. wore a red Eagles face mask in honor of his alma mater, Boston College, as he was sworn into the highest court of Massachusetts.
Georges was sworn in to the Supreme Judicial Court Wednesday morning in a small ceremony in the State House Library in Boston. A Boston Municipal Court judge who oversaw the Dorchester Drug Court, Georges is one of a handful of district court judges to be confirmed to that role.
“I know you didn’t put me here to do anything other than what I think is right, but I do want you to also remember what I said to you at the end of the interview,” Georges told Baker before the swearing in. “I won’t let you down.”
