NALP Reciprocity Policies UMKC School of Law is a National Association for Law Placement member law school. We support a policy of providing job search assistance to students and graduates of other law schools through reciprocity. This allows law schools to provide reasonable access to their career resources for students and graduates from UMKC. It is important to understand that each law school has its own reciprocity requirements. If reciprocity is granted, students/graduates should be sure to read and honor the reciprocity policy of the host school. Contact us to arrange for Reciprocity when you are seeking employment in another state. Just tell us the state and school from which you want us to request Reciprocity.
