Reciprocity Services
A service that is particularly helpful to alumni and students seeking positions outside the Knoxville area is our reciprocity agreement with other law schools’ career services offices. Through UT’s membership in the National Association for Law Placement, we are able to secure services similar to those we provide to UT alumni. Typically restricted to third-year students and graduates, reciprocal services require that we send a letter of request to the selected school(s) and provide them with your mailing address. Services may include one consultation with a counselor, access to office resources, and the chance to subscribe to a job opportunities newsletter or online listing service. To inquire about the availability of reciprocal services at other law schools, e-mail us at lawcareer@utk.edu.
The Career Center’s facilities and resources are also available to students and graduates of other ABA-accredited law schools that will provide reciprocal services to UT Law students and graduates. If the policies of the requesting law school are more restrictive, UT Law reciprocity policies may be adjusted similarly.
