Requesting Reciprocity

University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law Students or Graduates

Reciprocity allows University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law students or graduates to obtain access to Career Services Offices of other law schools throughout the country.

Before you request reciprocity, it is your responsibility to research the reciprocity policies of law schools from which you want to obtain reciprocity. Reciprocity policies for most law schools can be found at:  http://www.nalp.org/reciprocitypolicies?s=reciprocity%20policies

If the law school's reciprocity policy is not listed, visit the law school Web site and search under "Career Services."

When requesting reciprocity, please list your first three choices of law schools from which you want to obtain reciprocity.

Non UofL Brandeis School of Law Students or Graduates
•The Brandeis School of Law will grant reciprocity to students and graduates of other law schools, provided that the law school requesting reciprocity allow similar reciprocity privileges to Brandeis School of Law students and graduates.

•Access to the online Symplicity job database will be granted for a period of 90 days from the date reciprocity is approved ONLY if the law school requesting reciprocity on behalf of their student/graduate offers the same.  If the requesting law school requires students/graduates from other law schools to physically come to their office to receive reciprocity, we will require the same.  Otherwise, reciprocity will be for a three month period and the student/graduate will need to come to the law school to view job postings.
