St. Thomas More Society Invites the Entire Legal Community to the Annual Red Mass & Reception Dinner
HOLY FAMILY CATHEDRAL IN ORANGE MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2009 EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION AT 6:00 P.M. The Red Mass is a Eucharistic celebration of the role of the law in God's plan. In 1245, the first Red Mass was celebrated in the La Sainte Chapelle, Paris honoring St Ives, the patron saint of lawyers. In 1310, the Red Mass was celebrated in England with the Bench and Bar in attendance at the opening of the Court term. The celebration is known as the Red Mass because the priest and judges wore red robes. The tradition has continued in the United States with members of the US Supreme Court joining the resident and members of Congress each year at St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington. The Red Mass is also celebrated in numerous cities around the world. For more information visit: www.stthomasmore.netTO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESSION, JURISTS SHOULD CONTACT HON. WM MONROE OR HON.

UCI Mock Trial Invitational Tournament -- Volunteer Judges Needed! Saturday & Sunday, November 14 and 15
Greetings from UC Irvine's Mock Trial Team!
What began as the first invitational in Orange County history has
evolved into one of the largest and most prestigious tournaments in the country. The 16 schools (and 32 teams) competing this season will come from 10 different states, and every school competing reached Nationals last season.
We ask that you please consider judging at our third annual UCI Mock Trial Invitational Tournament on November 14 and 15, 2009 at the UCI Student Center.
There are four rounds of trials-- Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning, and Sunday afternoon-- and you can judge as many or as few as you like. No litigation experience is required-- anyone with a JD is welcome to judge, and we'll cover all of the details during a quick PowerPoint presentation before the trial. And, of course, we'll provide food and parking.
You can register online at http://www.irvinemocktrial.com/JUDGES.html. Once you do, the Student Tournament Coordinator will send you a confirmation email with all of the details (directions, parking, etc.).
If you have any questions, please contact me at cspencer@uci.edu (949.824.1312) or contact our Head Coach Justin Bernstein, an associate for O'Melveny & Myers LLP (irvine.coach@gmail.com).
We hope you can make it!
