Visiting Fellows Program
The Visiting Fellows Program offers judges, lawyers, court officials, and professors from other countries the opportunity to spend two-three weeks as scholars in residence at the Center. Fellows undertake research related to a reform initiative underway in their home countries. The International Office provides research assistance and coordinates meetings with judges, Center staff, other experts in the D.C. area.
Launched in 1992, the Visiting Fellows Program has hosted over 100 participants from more than 30 different countries. A list of recent fellows can be found here.
The program is open March - June and September - November. Fellows must arrange their own funding, travel, housing, and visa.
