Visiting Scholars & Researchers Program

Each year visiting scholars and researchers from around the world join the BU Law community to conduct research for which the School’s impressive resources can be of assistance. Most visiting scholars and researchers are junior or senior members of law faculties in countries outside the U.S., while others are involved in government service or doctoral or post-doctoral studies. The majority are engaged in collaborative research with members of BU Law’s full-time faculty. Visiting scholars enjoy full access to the School’s BU Law Library and its faculty library to pursue individual research agendas, and are assigned their own library carrels.

Scholars benefit from an accommodating place to pursue their work and from an ability to exchange ideas with our faculty, other visiting scholars and the significant number of lawyers and jurists from around the world who are enrolled in graduate legal studies at BU Law. Space permitting, visiting scholars are invited to observe classes and attend faculty workshops and other academic events. They also use the computers located in the BU Law Library and in the School’s several computer labs. Visits range from a few weeks to a full year and may start at any time.
