Every year LML is approached by scholars from all over the world who wish to spend a short period of time working in Cambridge on issues related to Law, Medicine and Life Sciences. We are able to give the title Visiting Scholar to those who are already engaged in an academic career, and who are employed by a higher education institution. Potential visitors will need to be approved by the Centre and the Faculty of Law. If you are interested in applying to join us in Cambridge, or would like more information about being an LML Visiting Scholar then email us at: LML@law.cam.ac.uk
