“So Help Me God” in Judicial Oath:

Reader Dominic Markwordt writes:

I happened to be doing some research for my law review comment and came across the oath all U.S. judges/justices are required to take.

Each justice or judge of the United States shall take the following oath or affirmation before performing the duties of his office: “I, _______ _______, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as _______ under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”
28 U.S.C.A.
