On March 4, 2020, Catholic Law alumni working for Hogan Lovells gathered at the Washington, D.C., firm to meet Dean Stephen C. Payne. Hosted by Michael Hely ’02, the group enjoyed a collegial lunch and the beautiful, sunny day in D.C.

The lunch marked an opportunity for alumni at the firm to come together and meet Dean Payne, in his first year at Catholic Law. Dean Payne shared some of his credentials, commented on Catholic Law's position in the U.S. rankings, and encouraged continued alumni support while looking forward to Catholic Law's future.
