On Jan. 27, the St. Thomas More Society, made up of Orange County Catholic judges and attorneys, is holding a half-day seminar on "A Lawyer's Professional Responsibility: The Lawyer of the Millennium's Perspective." The conference in Santa Ana will focus on the teachings of Thomas More, an attorney and top aide to King Henry VIII. More was beheaded for his faith when he failed to give up his allegiance to the pope. The Law Society of Great Britain voted him "Lawyer of the Millennium."

Gerald F. Kicanas, bishop of the Diocese of Tucson, was in the Middle East attending a Catholic conference on peace when he learned while watching CNN that a gunman had opened fire on a crowd back home.

Corrigan, 57, a former prosecutor and a judge for 18 years, will fill the vacancy created by last summer's departure of Justice Janice Rogers Brown, the court's only African American and one of its most conservative members.
