As long as they want. Usually a nominee is appointed to a seat that is already vacant so assuming the seat is automatic on confirmation. In this case she was appointed to replace Bryer, who is remaining on the bench until the end of the session. So it could be October before Jackson joins the bench or some time over the summer if Breyer resigns. Since the decisions have been released he could well do that.
Yes, I realized finally that Breyer hasn’t left yet. I was confounded by the 6-3 vote when I didn’t see the new one’s name. I’m slow until about noon.

He stays until the end of his term and she will replace him then.
