The Visiting Scholars Program brings a small number of highly qualified international scholars to the Law School every year. While in residence, Visiting Scholars pursue their research in Tarlton Law Library—Jamail Center for Legal Research and participate in the intellectual life of the Law School community. The Visiting Scholars Program aims for geographical diversity. It is desirable that participants be full-time professors of law from outside the U.S. Ph.D. students in law are also eligible. Full-time judges and other legal professionals may also be accepted. The program is administered by Jonathan Pratter, International and Foreign Law Librarian.
The fee for participation in the Visiting Scholars Program is US $850 for the first semester and US $750 for following semesters. In appropriate cases, the fee may be moderated.
To apply, interested persons should send 1) a current CV, 2) a short statement of their research project, and 3) a statement of their intended dates of participation to Jonathan Pratter, jpratter@law.utexas.edu.
If accepted, Visiting Scholars will work with both Mr. Pratter and the International Office of the University to prepare for their arrival in the U.S.
