LA Archdiocese’s general counsel gets surprise award at 2024 Red Mass
A top Los Angeles judge called on lawyers to follow in the footsteps of St. Thomas More while the archdiocese’s longtime legal counsel received a surprise honor at the 2024 LA Red Mass on Oct. 23.
“Civility is the lawyer’s version of charity” in the face of “misplaced adversarialism,” said Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carolyn Kuhl, the closing speaker at this year’s event. “Let us commit to respond with civility emulating St. Thomas.”
More than 400 people attended this year’s liturgy, which featured Homeboy Industries founder Father Greg Boyle as homilist and concluded with a lifetime achievement award for the Archdiocese of LA’s general counsel, Marge Graf.
