Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson finished her testimony Wednesday in confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee. If confirmed in April,  Jackson will be the first Black woman to serve as a Supreme Court justice.

Jackson is a D.C. native and District resident, which prompted crowds to gather at the Supreme Court on the first day of hearings monday to rally in support of Jackson. (A small number of demonstrators protesting her nomination also showed up.) Locals also organized watch parties, many virtual and some in person, to mark the historic event. Inside the hearing room, the nominee — who currently serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit — withstood three grueling days of partisan questioning. The next steps in the nomination process are a committee vote, expected April 4, and the possible full Senate vote as early as the first weeks of April.
