\nHEADLINE: Retiring chief justice spent 42 years on high court
\nBYLINE: By ALAN COOPER, Richmond Times-Dispatch
\nBODY:
\nRICHMOND, Va. – Harry L. Carrico was a judge before Fve of his
\nsix colleagues on the Virginia Supreme Court were born. The sixth
\nwas barely out of diapers when Carrico became a trial justice in
\n\u00b1airfax County in 1943.
\nWhen Carrico was named to the high court, the man who will
\nsucceed him as chief justice, Leroy R. Hassell Sr., was 5 years old.
\nThe number the Virginia State Bar assigns to a newly admitted
\nlawyer increases with the number of lawyers admitted. Last
\nweek, it went to 49,010. Carrico’s number is 867.
\nAs chief justice since 1981, he has presided over the admission of
\nalmost two-thirds of the lawyers practicing in the state.
\nAny discussion of the 86-year-old Carrico might understandably
\nstart with longevity, but it moves quickly to vitality and
\naccomplishment. His 42 years on the Supreme Court, 22 as chief
\njustice, ended \u00b1riday.
\nHis work ethic would be “almost mythical in proportion but for the
\nfact that it’s true,” said Justice Donald W. Lemons, the junior
\nmember of the court.
\nCarrico typically rises at 4:15 a.m. for a bike ride of at least six
\nmiles around his western Henrico County neighborhood. He’s in
\nhis o\u00b2ce by 6:45 a.m. and often is the last to leave the Supreme
\nCourt building in the evening.
\nUntil recently, he Rollerbladed on weekends in the commuter
\nparking lot on Gaskins Road, but the county closed it because of
\nconcern about lawsuits. “I’m going to go back to it,” he said.
\n“We’ll Fnd a place.”
\nHis reputation for vigor has hardly been diminished by his <\/p>\n

marriage in July 1994 to Lynn Brackenridge, who is more than 40
\nyears younger than he.
\nBy all accounts, it is a remarkably happy union, even though
\nBrackenridge is almost as energetic as Carrico in her role as
\npresident of Gateway Homes of Greater Richmond Inc. The
\norganization operates residences and a supported living program
\nin ChesterFeld County for mentally ill adults.
\n“They truly love each other,” Lemons said. “They enjoy each
\nother and they are enjoyable to see together.”
\nIf he had his way, Carrico makes clear, he would continue on the
\ncourt. “It’s a very interesting job. There’s something new every
\nday. I don’t want to quit.”
\nBut a state law that took e\u00b1ect after he began his most recent
\n12-year term requires judges to retire the January after their 70th
\nbirthday. The law allowed judges to complete the terms they were
\nserving, regardless of their age, and Carrico’s ended Jan. 31.
\nHe will continue as a senior justice, sitting on three-judge panels
\nthat decide whether a case is worth full review and substituting
\non the court when a justice is disqualiFed for some reason.
\nHis departure has touched o\u00b1 banquets and accolades, including
\nstanding ovations from the legislature during Gov. Mark R.
\nWarner’s State of the Commonwealth address and from the
\nSupreme Court sta\u00b1 on his last day on the bench as chief justice.
\n“I don’t really deserve all this,” Carrico said. “I just did what I
\nthought I was supposed to do.”
\nThe work includes much more than writing opinions and presiding
\nover the court when it hears oral arguments or holds conferences
\nabout how the individual cases should be decided.
\nThe chief justice also is the administrative head of the court
\nsystem, responsible for budgets, the technology that connects
\nthe four levels of the system and awareness of judicial and legal
\ntrends. <\/p>\n
