Concord's Juris Doctor alumni may also apply to practice before most federal and other governmental agencies. In addition, graduates may be eligible to practice before the United States Supreme Court after three years of practice. Graduates desiring to practice in other states may be eligible under reciprocity rules. These rules are unique to each state.
