What is the law of reciprocity?

Reciprocity basically just means fair sharing. In regards to the law, it can be seen in many areas. First, many states share information on traffic tickets, DWI/DUI, and other moving violations to keep your driving record up to date for purposes of fines/punishments for future violations. Second, in trials, there is discovery. This is essentially reciprocity in regards to all of the information for the trial. Both sides are required to share all of their evidence so that neither side can unfairly "surprise" the other side. Third, and this is the big one, the legal system is based on precedent. In theory, if one court rules on an issue in one way, all other courts in the same state (or federally in the case of federal or Supreme Court decisions) would have to hold the same. Hope this helps.
