Reciprocity

Requesting Reciprocity

Richmond Law students and alumni who wish to request reciprocity at another law school should submit the Reciprocity Request Form to the Career Development Office (CDO) with the name of the school(s) from which they would like to receive services. Note that each school has its own reciprocity policy. Please closely review and compare policies, which are linked from the NALP website and/or individual law school pages, before making your request from the CDO.

University of Richmond School of Law Policy

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

  1. Online access to job listings is available through reciprocity. Participation in recruitment programs, one-on-one advising and document review services are not available via reciprocity.
  2. Services are available only to students and graduates of law schools that allow University of Richmond students and graduates to use their services in a substantially similar manner.
  3. Requests for reciprocity must be made in writing by the career development office at the student's or graduate's home institution and must certify that the applicant is a student or graduate of that law school.
  4. Services are available free of charge for a period of three months or until August 15, whichever comes first. Reciprocal services are not available from August 15 through January 1. Reciprocity may be renewed upon receipt of a new request.
  5. Reciprocity will be limited to 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) during any single reciprocity period.
  6. Reciprocity privileges may be restricted or revoked in cases of misuse. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time without prior notice.

Students and alumni from other ABA-accredited law schools should direct questions and requests for reciprocity to lawcareerdevelopment@richmond.edu.
