3/5/08--Boston College Law School is pleased to announce that Gregory Kalscheur, S.J. has been promoted to Associate Professor with Tenure.

"I am delighted that Professor Kalscheur's consistently excellent performance--in the classroom, in his scholarship, and in his numerous volunteer activities--has been recognized and rewarded by the University," said BC Law Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Michael Cassidy.  "To say that the student feedback on his application for promotion was overwhelmingly positive would be a gross understatement.  He is one of the law school's finest teachers, and a tremendous citizen in terms of broad community involvement.  Professor Kalscheur is present to students not only in the classroom, but also in their daily lives as a mentor, advisor and role model."

Kalscheur came to BC Law in 2003. He received his A.B. in 1985 from Georgetown University, and his J.D. in 1988 from the University of Michigan, where he served on the editorial board of the Michigan Law Review. After law school, he clerked for Judge Kenneth F. Ripple, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and worked as a litigator at Hogan & Hartson in Washington, D.C. He later received his M.Div. and S.T.L. from Weston Jesuit School of Theology, and LL.M. from Columbia University.

After entering the Society of Jesus in 1992, Kalscheur served as Adjunct Professor of Political Science and Assistant to the Director of the Center for Values and Service at Loyola College in Maryland (1996-98) and as Associate Pastor at St. Raphael the Archangel Church in Raleigh, N.C. (2001-02).

Kalscheur's primary teaching and research interests include law and religion, constitutional law, civil procedure, Catholic social thought and the law, and the contributions of Ignatian spirituality to the character of legal education at a Jesuit law school.
