Visiting Scholars

ILR Visiting Scholars

The Institute for Legal Research hosts a number of visiting scholars from US and foreign institutions each year, both to participate in Institute-oriented programs and to pursue their own research projects on legal doctrine, theory, and empirical analysis. Past scholars have included professors, government and law professionals, as well as graduate and PhD students working under the supervision of a Berkeley Law faculty member.

Japanese Federation of Bar Association Visiting Fellows Program

The Institute’s Sho Sato Program in Japanese and US Law established an exchange program in 1999 with the Japanese Federation of Bar Associations (JFBA) to give Japanese attorneys engaged in public-interest activities the opportunity to study for a year in Berkeley. The JFBA also has exchange agreements with New York University and the University of Illinois. As of December 2009, 23 attorneys have studied overseas under these programs.
