Reciprocity
Reciprocity is a courtesy arrangement among different law school Career Service offices where students and graduates are allowed to use onsite resources located in other cities and states.
Please Note:
- Each law school has its own requirements for this use
- Some only allow graduates to use their services and some are open to students
- A student is required to have a letter of introduction from ASU before visiting or contacting another law school's Career Services office
If you are planning a visit to another school and would like a letter of reciprocity, please contact lawcareerservices@asu.edu.
For all non-ASU students, reciprocity requests should be sent through your Career Services office to lawcareerservices@asu.edu.
