Tennessee Supreme Court appointee Roger Page was sworn in last night by Justice Jeffrey Bivins in a small private ceremony following his confirmation by the General Assembly, the Nashville Post reports. Michele Wojciechowski, spokeswoman for the Administrative Office of the Courts, said a more formal swearing-in will happen at a later date. “It’s typical for judges, especially sitting judges that are appointed to a higher court, to have a quick swearing-in so that they can begin the work, which are later followed up by more ceremonial proceedings,” she said.
