RECIPROCITY

Students may request assistance from the Career Services Office in obtaining reciprocity from law schools in another state.  Reciprocity permissions often include the use of the granting institution's job bank or online employment system.  To request reciprocity from another law school, please send an email to the Career Services Office at lawcare@uwyo.edu identifying the law school(s) you'd like us to contact.

Bar Exam Information

When applying for the bar examination, you will be asked for a great deal of information regarding your academic, professional, personal, and financial life.  You are encouraged to start gathering your past addresses, employment information, and any disciplinary information early (Christmas break of your 3L year) so you can meet the deadlines set by each jurisdiction.
