Reciprocity Policy
The Career Development Office at UC Irvine Law will allow students and alumni of other ABA-accredited NALP member law schools to use its resources on a case-by-case basis.
Request Procedures
- All requests must be made in writing (by email to careers@law.uci.edu) by a professional at the student's or graduate's career services office.
- All requests are evaluated individually and granting of reciprocity is not guaranteed.
- UC Irvine Law will communicate with the requesting school only but will send a copy of the approval or denial to the student or graduate if contact information is provided. Students or graduates should not contact UC Irvine Law directly.
Services
If reciprocity is granted, students and alumni will have guest access to our online job listings (12twenty). The office will not provide career counseling, nor will it grant access to on-campus interview programs or password-protected sections of the Career Development Office website.
Terms of Use
- Only graduates from law schools that allow UC Irvine Law graduates to use their facilities may use our resources.
- Granting of reciprocity lasts for three months. Each renewal request will be treated as a new request.
- No law school may have more than three (3) students qualified for reciprocity at a given time.
- To access reciprocity services, students and graduates must email careers@law.uci.edu to receive login credentials.
- The following restrictions apply to the availability of reciprocity services:
- Reciprocity is not available to 1L students.
- 2L students may only have access from January 1 to April 30.
- 3L students may have access at any time during the academic year, through July 31 of the year of their graduation.

- Reciprocity is not available to students attending Southern California law schools.
- When responding to job notices obtained in our office applicants must state in their cover letters that they obtained the listing through a reciprocal agreement between the applicant's school and UC Irvine Law.
- The Career Development Office may deny further services to any individual who misuses services, or to any school surpassing a reasonable number of requests within a given calendar year.
- The Career Development Office may revoke privileges extended to an individual at any time.
- The Career Development Office reserves the right to modify our Reciprocity Policy at any time, without advance notice.
