Internal student/alumni reciprocity access 

If you plan to conduct a job search in a state other than Michigan, you might consider requesting permission to use the career services office at a university in that state combined with our services. Many law schools provide reasonable access to their career resources for students and graduates from other law schools that agree to provide similar services. This will give you access to local job postings and information about practitioners in the area. 

To review specific policies, go to the NALP Directory of Reciprocity Policies. If Reciprocity access is granted, students/graduates should be sure to read and honor the reciprocity policy of the host school. Many law schools have black-out dates (usually in the fall) during which time reciprocity requests won't be granted. 

Contact lawcareers@wayne.edu to schedule an appointment and discuss gaining reciprocity. Current Wayne Law students can also fill out our form here to submit a formal request to the office ranking their preferred schools.
