The Visiting Scholar Program at Emory Law seeks to facilitate the comparative study of legal systems and institutions, encourage the exchange of legal scholarship and experiences, and promote the rule of law and democratic values on a global scale.
Emory Law hosts scholars from around the world, engaging post PhD legal scholars, law school teachers, professionals, and practitioners for residencies ranging from three months to a year.
Each visiting scholar works with a faculty host from among the regular faculty at the law school, who coordinates activities and services, including:
- the opportunity to audit classes (on a non-credit basis), with the approval of the faculty instructor
- the possibility of presenting work-in-progress to law school faculty
- access to faculty colloquia and academic presentations
- access to Emory libraries and book-borrowing privileges
- access to Lexis-Nexis and Westlaw research databases
- Emory University email address.
Please note that Emory Law has a limited number of spaces for visiting scholars. Applicants should be connected with ongoing projects with the Center for International and Comparative Law (CICL), or be part of an established ongoing research relationship with an Emory Law faculty member.
How to Apply
