Reply to comment by angelmichelle13 in Boston Jobs for someone with a law degree? by Barred4Life

Do you think my office will be able to help even though they're in florida?

Yes. At least they should. It’s the law school’s benefit that you’re happily employed. Be sure to ask about reciprocity with a Boston area law school, which can grant you access to local legal listings via a local law school’s job board: https://www.nalp.org/reciprocitypolicies.

I’m sure you already looked into this but is there Bar reciprocity for you to work in MA without taking the exam? I know Florida doesn’t have it for MA (or really anywhere, they are sticklers). Caveat is my knowledge is dated, as I took the MA bar before it moved to the UBE.

Typically you have to practice for at least 5 years to waive into the Bar in Boston, but I just took the exam and passed thankfully!
