Justice Brett Kavanaugh heaped praise on fellow Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Supreme Court's newest member who first took the bench last fall.
"She is fully prepared — thoroughly prepared," Kavanaugh said of his colleague during a Notre Dame Law School event on Monday, calling preparation "the number one thing" that "makes a good judge."
"She's off to a great start," Kavanaugh continued, adding that Jackson "hit the ground running" and fits in well with the group.
Jackson, who's seated next to Kavanaugh on the bench, has received widespread attention in the legal world less than four months into her tenure at the Supreme Court. Observers have remarked how quickly and comfortably Jackson has been settling into her new role, speaking up often during oral arguments and engaging in lengthy back-and-forths with counsel. Progressives have also commended Jackson for what they see as her challenging conservative legal thinking on a 6-3 conservative-majority court.
