Reciprocity

Requesting Reciprocity from another law school’s Career Services Office

Interested in more out-of-town job postings and networking opportunities? If you are a current student or an alumnus of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, you may submit a request to the Pitt Law Career Services Office to request reciprocity from another law school’s Career Services Office. The grant of reciprocity and the services that will be available will depend upon the policy of the law school granting reciprocity. Before submitting a reciprocity request, students/graduates are required to research the reciprocity policies of the law schools they are seeking reciprocity from to determine the availability and duration of reciprocity, any specific limitations (e.g., certain metropolitan areas only permit reciprocity at one law school in the city), and the services provided. Reciprocity policies are generally available for review on the Career Services section of law school websites or see NALP's listing.  We recommend that you contact the appropriate school to confirm current policies.

If you would like to request reciprocity, please email Jacki Herzog (jherzog@pitt.edu) with the name(s) of the law school(s) you are requesting reciprocity from (maximum number of reciprocity requests is 3), along with your full name, email, street address and class year.
