Orsy earned a licentiate in philosophy at the Gregorian University, Rome in 1948 followed by a licentiate in Theology at the Jesuit College at the Catholic University of Leuven in 1952.

He is a regular visitor at the Georgetown University Law Center where he teaches Roman Law, Philosophy of Law, Canon Law, and Great Philosophers on Law. In 1999, Orsy dialogued with then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger about the Apostolic letter Ad Tuendam Fidem.
Foreign a theologian to speak with such a high-ranking church official on matters of interpretation was regarded by other theologians as unprecedented at the time.
