Since 1990, she has served on the NJC faculty and has taught judicial courses in seven states, as well as in the former Soviet Union. Justice Lanzinger has been an adjunct professor since 1988 at the University of Toledo College of Law, where she was valedictorian of her class.

Justice Lanzinger now chairs the Commission on the Rules of Superintendence for Ohio Courts and continues to contribute to the legal profession as an active member of the judiciary. A former chair and active board member of the Ohio Judicial College, she continues her interest in judicial education. She is a charter member and past president of the Morrison R. Waite American Inn of Court, a group known for mentoring law students and new attorneys. She joined the Ohio Bar Foundation's Class of 2000, served as co-chair of the Public Education and Awareness Task Force of the Ohio Courts Futures Commission, and was a member of the Supreme Court of Ohio Board of Commissioners on Grievances & Discipline, as well as the Ohio Criminal Sentencing Commission.

As a member of many legal and judicial associations, Justice Lanzinger has received numerous awards, one of her favorites being the Toledo Junior Bar's Order of the Heel, given for assistance to young lawyers.

The justice and her husband, Robert Lanzinger live in Toledo and have a daughter, son, and son-in-law, who are all attorneys, and three grandchildren.
