Reciprocity

Richmond Law students and alumni who wish to request reciprocity at another law school should submit the Reciprocity Request Form to our office. The reciprocity policies of most law schools are posted on the NALP website.

Richmond Law's career resources are available to students and graduates of other American Bar Association-accredited law schools on the following basis:

  1. Services are available only to those law schools that allow University of Richmond students and/or graduates use of their facilities in a substantially similar manner. 
  2. Services are not granted to first-year students. Services are limited for second-year students during the regular school year. 
  3. Requests for reciprocity must be made in writing by the individual's Career Development Office, certifying that the said individual is a student or graduate of the law school.
  4. Services are available for a period of three months free of charge. Reciprocity may be renewed, provided another reciprocity request is received.
  5. Participation in on-campus interviews, job fairs, or similar programs is not included in the reciprocity agreement.
  6. Reciprocal services may be denied to a particular school if there have been an excessive number of reciprocity requests from that school.
  7. Reciprocity requests must be limited to only one of the eight ABA-accredited Virginia law schools (Appalachian School of Law, George Mason University School of Law, Liberty University School of Law, Regent University School of Law, University of Richmond School of Law, University of Virginia School of Law, Washington and Lee University School of Law, and William & Mary Law School) for the length of the relevant reciprocity period.
  8. Services and facilities will not be available from August 1 to November 15 of each year.
