Reciprocity

A Cooley law student or graduate may request reciprocity which may allow him or her to utilize the Career Services of another law school. Students and graduates should make their request to the Career Services Office and we will confirm with the requested law school if reciprocity is available and granted. Call our office at (517) 371-5140, Ext. 4110 or send an e-mail request to tclscss@cooley.edu or fill out the reciprocity form online.
