Reciprocity Requests by Graduates of Other
Law Schools
We look forward to working with visiting
graduates and law students from other law
schools. To be granted reciprocity, please
review our Reciprocity Policy below and
then contact your law school’s Career
Services Office with your request. We will
then communicate directly with the requesting
school.
RWU Law Reciprocity Policy
The Office of Career Services at RWU Law grants
reciprocal services to students and graduates
of other ABA-accredited/NALP member law
schools that accord reciprocal privileges
to Roger Williams law students and graduates.
The office reserves the right to adjust
the stated policy if the requesting school
has a more restrictive policy.
Moreover, this policy will be reviewed
periodically to keep pace with employment
demands of the legal community. In certain
cases reciprocity may be refused due to
lack of mutual interest by our students
and graduates. This policy has been occasioned
by the heavy demands of numerous law students
and graduates attracted to the New England
area.
Reciprocity will be granted only to students
and graduates of ABA-accredited/NALP member
law schools that allow RWU Law students and graduates to
use their Career Services facilities. Reciprocity
requests will be granted on a one-to-one
basis. If an imbalance occurs, we may implement
a temporary freeze until a balance is achieved.
Reciprocity is granted for three months,
effective from the date of correspondence
in which reciprocal privileges are affirmatively
extended. Each renewal will be considered
a new request. Reciprocity is not available
for the period of August 1 through December
1.
Requests for reciprocity must be made in
writing by the individual's Career Services
Office, certifying that the said individual
is a student/graduate of the law school
and further agrees to offer reciprocity
to students/graduates of Roger Williams
University School of Law.
At their initial visit and at each visit
thereafter, students/graduates are requested
to: (1) bring their grant-of-reciprocity
letter and a form of identification; and
(2) check-in with a staff member of the
RWU Law
Office of Career Services.

related books, directories and handouts,
and complimentary access to computer databases
available on LEXIS/NEXIS and WESTLAW.
