CONSORTIUM ON INNOVATIVE LEGAL EDUCATION (CILE)

MEMBER SCHOOL YEAR ROUND RECIPROCITY POLICY

Year-round reciprocity may be extended with and among the following CILE member schools:

An alumnus or student who is a degree candidate at a Consortium law school (the "home school") may be extended placement assistance and have reasonable access to career resources at another Consortium law school (the "host school"), provided at that time of the student's request, the student initially contacts the Director of the host school's career services office. The student must also present a student ID or other proof that he or she attends or attended one of the Consortium schools upon entering the host school's career services office.

A limit on the number of students and/or alumni who may be taken will be determined by the host school. Any student/alumus who uses this service will be treated as a student/alumnus of the host school with regard to all career services counseling services and resources.

The CSO of the host school may deny further services to any individual who misuses the facilities or services.
