If you would like to use the Career Services Office of a law school outside of Massachusetts, please contact the Career Services Office at law.career@bc.edu. We have reciprocal agreements with many law school across the country. All schools require a "letter of reciprocity" from Boston College Law School. Services vary among law schools, but most offer use of their facilities, resource libraries, job listings and employment bulletins.
Reciprocity Policy
Boston College Law School supports the concept of reciprocity among law schools and has adopted the following policy to provide reasonable access of resources to students and graduates of law schools outside the Boston, Massachusetts metropolitan area:
1. We make our Reference Library facilities and Job Postings available to all students and graduates of other accredited law schools that offer the same opportunity to our students and graduates.
2. We will not limit the number of referrals from a single school unless the other school
grants reciprocity only on a one-for-one basis, in which case we will limit to same.
3. Requests for reciprocity must be made in writing by the Director of Career Services or authorized person from the requesting law school to the Career Services Office at least two weeks in advance of the intended visit. Requests should include the name and address of the individual for whom reciprocity is requested. NO WALK-IN OR PHONE REQUESTS WILL BE HONORED.
4. The student/graduate must wait until he or she has received a copy of our letter granting reciprocity before visiting our office, and MUST BRING THE LETTER AND A PHOTO ID ON EVERY VISIT. An individual granted reciprocity should call our office at 617-552-4345 in advance of his/her first visit to confirm office hours and availability of resources. Services are available during our regular business hours, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
5. Reciprocity will be granted only to the person for whom it was requested and cannot be transferred to any other person.
6. The Director of Career Services reserves the right to deny further services to any school seen to surpass a reasonable number of requests within a given calendar year or revoke privileges extended to individuals who abuse the facilities, services, or staff.
7. Reciprocity will not be granted during the fall recruitment period, August 15th-November 15th.
8. Visiting students/graduates may use the above resources for a period not to exceed three months from the date of the first visit or until August 15th, whichever comes first.
9. Students and graduates of other schools will not be permitted to schedule campus interview appointments with prospective employers. Reciprocity will not include individual career counseling, resume or cover letter review, use of the fax machine or the telephone room. Visitors may not borrow or remove reference materials from the office.
