‘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.”
