Visiting Scholar Programs

Campus life at Lewis & Clark is enriched by the presence of environmental visiting scholars. Each year, a Natural Resources Law Institute Distinguished Environmental Visitor, drawn from the scholarly luminaries of the field, visits campus to share his or her area of expertise with Lewis & Clark law students.

The Natural Resources Law Institute also annually funds a resident Distinguished Environmental Scholar who researches a cutting-edge issue and serves as a resource for students. Visiting law faculty or distinguished law graduates may be appointed to this position for up to one year.

The law school also welcomes environmental law professors from other countries as Visiting International Scholars to research U.S. environmental law for time periods from one week to one year. Visiting International Scholars have access to law school events, classes, and research facilities while working on major research projects.
