On June 8, 2023, Catholic Law welcomed its incoming lecturers with the 2023 Lecturer Orientation. The afternoon orientation was held in the Law School as a way of introducing new lecturers to Catholic Law. Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Mary Graw Leary made opening remarks, being the first to welcome the group. “The Law School is thrilled to welcome this group of attorneys. We pride ourselves on our students being taught by not only those at the top of their given fields, but those within that elite group who are gifted teachers.”

Dean Leary then introduced the group to the various members of the Academic Affairs team, before transitioning to the first information session, “Preparing Your Class, Beginning to End,” with Professor Emeritus Reverend Raymond C. O’Brien. Father O’Brien discussed the fundamentals of preparing a course for the school year. After a brief break, the session continued with a discussion about "Diversity in Legal Education and Making an Inclusive Classroom," which was led by Professor Veryl Miles.

The afternoon continued with additional information sessions including: “Introduction to the Center for Teaching Excellence,” with the Center for Teaching Excellence's associate director, Danny Beacon; and a “Lecturer Panel” with Lesley Fair, John Sharifi '02, and Chris Wright ’11, which allowed for the new roster of lecturers to hear from experienced lecturers who have been singled out by their students as exceptionally successful.

The day concluded with closing remarks from Dean Graw Leary and a reception for those in attendance.
