St. Mary's student or graduate seeking reciprocity at another school

A student may request a letter of reciprocity to present to another school’s Law Career Services Office, by either submitting an online request. We will send you and the school a letter of introduction. If reciprocity is granted, read and honor the reciprocity policy of the host school. Please note you are limited to one school per geographic area in any academic year.

In addition to accessing other schools’ Career Services Offices, you can read many schools bulletins online. Brigham Young University Law School Career Services Office collects other school’s bulletins and posts them. If a school participates, then the students and graduates of that school have access to the password protected site. Contact amendoza1@stmarytx.edu for the passwords.
