Policy of Reciprocity

If you are seeking a position outside of the Boston area, our office can arrange for you to visit another law school’s career services office in most areas of the country. Note that most law schools suspend reciprocity privileges during the fall recruitment season (mid-August through November or December). If you would like to utilize this reciprocity service, speak with Louise Ivens in our office, l.ivens@neu.edu. 

1. It is our policy to assist students and graduates of accredited law schools who are relocating and seeking legal employment in the Boston area, provided that their law school will reciprocate in kind.
2. A letter or e-mail requesting reciprocity for a specific individual must be received from that individual’s law school Career Services Office before services will be provided.
3. Once a reciprocity request has been sent, students or graduates requesting reciprocity should contact the Office of Career Services to advise us when they wish to visit the Office.
4. Services include access to the Career Services Resource Room, legal publications, directories and handouts.  Off-campus access to our Job Newsletter is allowed only if the student or graduate's law school participates in the Intercollegiate Job Bank.  There is no Symplicity access to our Job Newsletter. 
5. No services will be provided between mid-August through October.
6. Students and graduates from other law schools can not participate in the Northeastern or the Massachusetts Law School Consortium’s recruitment programs.
7. Schools seeking reciprocity with Northeastern University School of Law must abide by the agreement established by the Massachusetts Law School Consortium stating that a reciprocal agreement on behalf of an individual can only be arranged at one Boston-area law school.
