WCL Alumni Seeking Reciprocity at Other Schools

What is reciprocity?

Reciprocity is a service that allows law students and alumni to look at other law school鈥檚 job boards. This allows students to look at job boards that have postings in a different location鈥檚 market.

Am I eligible for reciprocity at ____ school?

Different schools have different policies regarding reciprocity. Find out if you are eligible by checking the school鈥檚 reciprocity policy, which is usually available on their Career Services website.

Eligibility is based on what year you are in school, the time of the year, and if the school is local (For example, law schools in Washington D.C. will not offer reciprocity to a student from WCL because they have the same jobs we have).

Once you determine you are eligible, you ask OCPD to submit a request for you.听

Here are the steps to request reciprocity:

1. Review the school鈥檚 reciprocity policy on their website. If you cannot find it on the website, please email or call the school鈥檚 Career Services office to confirm your eligibility.
