‘‘
My three favorite days of our academic year are, Orientation—today, when I get to usher in our newest incoming class; our Swearing-In Ceremony for the most recent graduating class; and Graduation. Welcome to the start of your legal career. Our faculty can’t wait to get a hold of you!

Orientation August 18, 2014
Swearing-in Ceremony December 3, 2014 “My parting words to our newly minted attorneys are always the same: You have worked hard to reach this moment. Take your oath seriously because, when all is said and done, your future as a lawyer will rise and fall with your reputation. Guard it with everything you have.” Joining Dean Hobbs, from left, the Honorable David B. Katz ’87 Presiding Judge, Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Family Part, who administered the state oath; and the Honorable Steven C. Mannion ’93, Magistrate Judge, U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, who administered the federal oath.
Commencement May 22, 2015 “Class of 2015, in your hand you hold a 2015 quarter painted red, in a plastic case. The quarter is to remind you that in times of trouble, or doubt, or jeopardy, I want you to call me. I gave you my cell phone number the first day of law school. Call me. I’ll get you through that moment.” Dean Hobbs was the speaker for the 2015 Commencement, at which Seton Hall University conferred upon him an honorary Master of Laws degree.
