Reciprocity Policy

Reciprocity with UNC School of Law will be granted on a one-person-at-a-time basis with each requesting school for a period of three months.  Any new requests for reciprocity from third-year students or alumni from another school must wait until the current grantee's term has concluded in order to gain reciprocity.

About Reciprocity

1. Reciprocity is limited to third-year students and graduates seeking permanent employment in North Carolina, except at the discretion of the Assistant Dean.
2. Services are available on a one-person-at-a-time basis to third-year students and graduates of those ABA-accredited law schools outside of North Carolina that permit UNC Law students and/or alumni substantially similar access to their career services facilities and resources. Services will not be provided if the third-year student or graduate has received reciprocity from another North Carolina law school.
3. Reciprocal services are extended for a period of three months to each individual. 
4. Requests for services must be made in advance, via e-mail, by a Career Services official. The request should state that the requesting school will make similar reciprocity services available to UNC students/graduates. Following receipt of a response from our office, the student or graduate may contact the Career Services Office to arrange a mutually convenient time to visit the office, except as limited in No. 3 above.
5. Reciprocal services include the following:
   • Access to general career and employer information in the CSO Resources Suite;
   • Internet access to employment postings on Job Bank, which is updated daily. There is a one-time charge of $30 to obtain a password. Make your check payable to UNC School of Law, and send your check to Adam Ronan in the CSO. (Please include your e-mail address when you mail your check, so your password can be e-mailed to you.)
6. Reciprocal services exclude, among other things, on- and off-campus interviews or resume collects with prospective employers, career counseling services, and resume and cover letter review.
7. The student or graduate must state in his or her cover letter to any employer that the job listing was received from this office through a reciprocal agreement between the student or graduate's school and UNC School of Law Career Services Office.
8. The assistant dean has the discretion to review each request independently and to make the decision to grant or deny services of the office based on the demands of UNC School of Law students and/or alumni.
9. The assistant dean may deny further services to individuals who misuse the facilities or services.

Please e-mail all inquiries and requests for reciprocity to Adam Ronan, Office Coordinator, Career Services Office.
