Requests for Reciprocity for Job Seekers
Mitchell Hamline School of Law Students and Graduates
A Mitchell Hamline School of Law student or graduate may request reciprocity to utilize the career services resources of another participating law school. To find out the reciprocity policy of a particular law school, visit the individual school’s career services website or visit the NALP website. Note that many law schools may restrict the use of their resources because of the demands of their on-campus interviewing and other programs, which generally occur in the August through November timeframe.
To request reciprocity at another participating school, please email careers@mitchellhamline.edu with your written request and a link to the reciprocity policy for the school from which you are seeking reciprocity. The Mitchell Hamline Career and Professional Development Office will contact the identified school to request reciprocity on your behalf after receiving your request.
Students and Graduates of Other Law Schools
The Career and Professional Development Office at Mitchell Hamline School of Law is pleased to provide access to its online job listings via Symplicity to students and/or graduates of law schools outside of Minnesota under the following terms:
- Reciprocity services are available only to students and/or graduates of other ABA-approved law schools which allow Mitchell Hamline law students and/or graduates matching services.
- In most academic years, Mitchell Hamline School of Law reciprocity services will not be available July through October.
- Requests will be honored for a period of three months from the date of approval and may be extended for an additional three months upon request. A request for an extension must be submitted by the student’s or graduate’s career services office.
- Schools seeking reciprocity must abide by the agreement among the Minnesota law schools stating that reciprocity is available through one Minnesota law school only. Students and graduates from University of St. Thomas Law School and University of Minnesota Law School are not eligible for reciprocity from Mitchell Hamline School of Law.
Requests for services must be made in writing from an official of the requesting school’s career services office. Requests should be emailed to careers@mitchellhamline.edu
