International Visiting Scholars and Visiting Researchers

Saint Louis University School of Law and the Center for International and Comparative Law host distinguished international academics, lawyers, judges, government officials and graduate law students engaged in legal research and professional development. These international Visiting Scholars and Visiting Researchers visit the School of Law for periods ranging from 10 days to one year. Recent Visiting Scholars and Visiting Researchers have come from such diverse areas as Spain, France, Colombia, Brazil, Germany, Poland, Slovakia and China. Over the years Visiting Scholars and Visiting Researchers have contributed to the rich intellectual climate of the School of Law while drawing on the wide-ranging expertise of the School's faculty in U.S. domestic, international and comparative law.

International Visiting Scholars

Scholars are senior academics, judges, lawyers and government officials from outside the United States. Visiting Scholars visit the School of Law for the purpose of self-directed research and professional development. The School of Law provides the following services to Visiting Scholars at no charge:

• Use of the law library's services and collections (including computers and computer-assisted legal research)
• Consultation with interested members of the faculty
• Opportunities to meet and engage in academic discussions with faculty and students; these may include, for example, opportunities for Visiting Scholars to present their research to faculty and other visiting scholars
• An office, when available; when no office is available, a personal
  study carrel, and
• Use of a phone for local calls and a fax machine for local faxes.

The School of Law does not compensate Visiting Scholars. International visiting scholars arrange independently to finance their expenses, such as travel and living expenses and sundry expenses associated with their research (costs of copying, paper, supplies and similar items, if any). The School of Law does not provide monetary, research or other support for international Visiting Scholars.
