Scholar-in-Residence Program

Each year, a few proven legal scholars are accepted as Scholars-in-Residence at the University of Virginia School of Law. Given the difficulty of choosing among a large number of qualified applicants, we limit invitations to full-time academics currently affiliated with a university who have a special need for our library resources in order to complete a well-defined research project.

Please note that our visiting scholars pay a research tuition fee. For 2011-12, this fee will be $3,250 per semester or part thereof. It is expected that this fee will rise each year. Under our program, scholars have access to the Law School's library facilities, to the legal research services WestLaw and Lexis, and to the resident faculty. Scholars may also informally audit up to two Law School courses each semester, provided there is room in the desired courses after degree students have completed registration.

Those interested in being considered for participation in the program should send their curriculum vitae, proposed dates of residence, and an outline of their proposed research program to:
