Reciprocity Policy

Career Development Office facilities and resources are available to any students and graduates of ABA accredited law schools which will provide reciprocal services to students and graduates of Whittier Law School.

Reciprocity is offered throughout the year with no limitations during the fall recruiting season. Reciprocity is available for six months only.

Whittier Law School, although in Orange County, California, is located near Los Angeles and San Diego counties. Reciprocity is therefore limited to one school in this Southern California area. Law school Career Development offices must limit their requests. No reciprocity is granted to students/alumni of Orange County or Los Angeles County law schools. Reciprocity to San Diego schools is offered on a limited basis.

Requests for reciprocity should be made in writing by the requesting school prior to any visit. The Whittier Career Development Office will reply by fax to the requesting school. We will not contact the reciprocity recipient.

Reciprocity services granted to graduates include access to current job listings, reference materials, publications, monthly position bulletins, seminars/panel discussions, limited career counseling and the computers in the Career Development library. Reciprocity services granted to students include access to law clerk listings, reference materials, publications, and limited career counseling. Students and graduates of other schools are not permitted to schedule on-campus interviews or participate in resume referral services.

Services may be denied any individual school which surpasses a reasonable number of requests within a given year or which makes multiple requests for reciprocity in Southern California and/or to any individual who abuses the reciprocity privilege.

Please contact Elizabeth Jurmu, Recruitment Coordinator at ejurmu@law.whittier.edu or 714-444-4141 ext 292, for more information.
