Visiting Scholars and Researchers

The University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School’s Visiting Scholar and Visiting Researcher Program is intended to accommodate legal professionals who wish to spend a limited period of time at the Law School pursuing research on a particular topic.

The intellectual lives of the faculty and students at the Law School are enriched by the academic and regional diversity of our visitors, and we invite applications from both domestic and international scholars and practitioners.

This program is designed to accommodate international visitors with a broad range of legal experience and qualifications. Visiting Scholars are generally those with a faculty appointment at their home institution or equivalent professional status (e.g., experienced jurists, government officials, and senior practitioners). Visiting Researchers are typically doctoral degree candidates, younger professionals and others who are at the beginning of a promising legal career.

The integration of visitors into the Penn Carey Law community is a central goal of this program. As a result, Visiting Scholars and Researchers may be invited to attend faculty events, ad hoc workshops, legal studies conferences, and colloquia hosted by groups such as the Institute for Law and Economics.
