Visiting Researchers and Scholars

The Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice has joined with the Jamail Center for Legal Research at the University of Texas School of Law's Tarlton Law Library to provide visiting research opportunities for scholars who pursue independent research projects related to human rights law and advocacy. Aimed at judges, graduate students, activists and practitioners, the Library offers private carrels, access to technology and full research and reference assistance for Visiting Scholars. The Rapoport Center partnership gives preference to Visiting Scholars who focus their research on human rights issues, programs and theories.
