ATL Courtship Connections
Judging from the number of Craigslist lawyer personal ads sent by tipsters, we gather that there are a lot of lonely lawyers out there. To do our little part to help fight the holiday tide of loneliness for singles, we’re launching something new, a legal iteration of Love Connection: ATL Courtship Connections.
Here’s how it will work. We’ve set up an extremely scientific survey to help us find your perfect match. Yes, this survey is the result of extensive research into the inner workings of love and the law, psychology, chemistry, romance… okay, it’s just the result of some quick e-mail brainstorming, but we think knowing your favorite Supreme Court justice might be enough to help us pair you up with “the one.”
Once we’ve gathered survey responses, the love gurus at ATL shall sort through them and match them using our patented legal love match system. The two lonely lawyers will be given a time and place to meet for drinks or dinner or what-have-you, on the condition that each sends us an e-mail on how the date went. Photos strongly encouraged.
So if you’re single, and interested in being set up with one of your own, fill out the Courtship Connections form. We hope to have the first date in the works before the end of the year.

So will Kash be first to go out on one of these awkward fiascos?
this sounds intriguing.
*hopes there is a nervous T-10 1L-ette out there, think of the conversation possibilities!*

Kash I am in love with you. You are my perfect match.

The last question omits the most correct answer: Accept the assignment, leave in time to make the date, nail it angry fist of God style, then go back to the office at 4am and finish the doc review by 10am.
Sleep is a luxury that those with jobs and lives cannot afford.
I cannot decide whether filling one of these out would be the lamest thing I ever did or actually fun...
Favorite Supreme? Sandra Day O'Connor, of course! Check out her autographed baseball on ebay!
This is so dorky it just might actually work...

I only date roosters.
I am lonely and sad.
This is a train wreck waiting to happen. I love it.
This is the first genuine laugh I've gotten out of ATL in quite some time. I am with the majority here, I can't decide if it's brilliant or retarded but either way it's probably a train wreck...
Yes, willingly exposing your private love life to a ridiculously bile filled 'legal tabloid' will end well.
Uh der der der der.
you want actual names and employers along with info about career prospects and work ethics? nothing can possibly go wrong there.
I am surprised that nobody has commented yet on this posting's complete irrelevance in relation to the purpose of this blogsite.
Either way...I'm sure the results will be interesting.
I can't imagine dating a lawyer. What would you talk about? Work? One nice thing about my non-lawyer wife is that she's totally uninterested in my (admittedly boring) work and we can talk about other stuff.
Don't be a bunch of lame pussies. go for it.
There is a rooster in the rooster house.
Great. Setting up two people who know how to take out restraining orders on each other. Awesome.
Kash, what about all of the married lawyers? You know they're hurting just as badly.
Also, how many women besides Kash read ATL?
Just to be clear, we won't publish all of the information we've requested. We just need the info to throw into our patented ATL Algorithm of Love to come out with the best matches.
--Elie
Please match me with Marin. I love her.
Wait, Marin is a chick, right?
<3
4: That's hilarious.
I don't know. I have banged my fair share of female attorneys, and I don't have any complaints. They seemed to be almost as horny as me (I said almost), and we had alot in common, including the tendency to drink more than is reasonable. I think it's a great idea.
You people are way too lonesome for your own good.
Develop some interests outside of law and see what happens.
will the names, pictures and emails describing the dates be published here? i think that should be done, if at all, only with both parties' express written consent given after the date has taken place.
I call SEN
I get that the info's not published but I would want to know whether there's anyone even in my area before I start doling out personal information. I mean, if I'm going to be the only responder from my area it's pretty damn useless and I don't want all this information out there for no reason.
It's 11am and no vicious hate speech concerning NY's largest law firms? What is wrong with you people? Let's go!!! Motivate!!!!
Is Marin pretty in real life?

On the brighter side, biglaw chicks are probably less likely to have teh hiv, so maybe you can get away with no tupperware.

Whatever the outcome, this is going to be awesome.
if it's a train wreck, it'll be fun to watch.
If it actually works, I'm sure we'll be talking about it for years.
And even if it just fall flat (a non-train wreck), I'm sure it'll be fun for us and the lawyers involved.
I say go for it!
remember kozinski's experience on that dating show?
28 has a point--seems like this would end up with all NYC or DC lawyers. Though, if NYSouthernGirl is going to do it (and then return to Texas), I'd see what happens.
This should really be done for summer associates! An easy way to create crazy summer stories.
I call the mouse with the huge head.
Will this service accommodate gay men who like to boink other men in their tushies?
39: yes, just say that your favorite justice is David Souter.
what does TTT mean???
I refuse to date anyone from Texas as they have Texas sized AIDS and that size of AIDS is just too big.
Will this service accommodate gay men who like to explore other men's poopenshafts?
42: I doubt you could handle Texas-sized anything. But, it could be fun to try (except for the AIDS, which I most assuredly do not have).
This sucks. Why must one be single. Monogamy is so TTT.
This sucks. Why must one be single? Monogamy is so TTT.
someone pls tell me what TTT means so i can understand this site.
Can Mormons date Roosters?
This is hysterical -- I am strangely tempted to participate.
I'm sure there will be a faggot section, like Match.com
46: Third Tier Toilet--used to describe anything of low prestige or worth. Originally from the idea of a third their law schools (I believe).
This is a horrible idea. But I guess if someone wants a date with MysTTTal, they should say they love cheetos and sloppy writing.
51: let me try to use it in a sentence. Mayer Brown = TTT.
thoughts?
human.....inter.....action.....?
Will this service accommodate gay men who like to go "balls deep" in other men's rectal cavities?
50 = CLS 2L Stud
Wait a second....Is this just a clever ploy to solicit from the readers, otherwise unascertainable, valuable demographic information for business purposes? The information sought is invaluable to bringing in advertisers...and the nature of the topic will all but guarantee hat the self reported information will be accurate.
Plus, where is the privacy notice, if any, that guarantees that this wont happen? Sheesh... I feel sorry for the fools that already filled out the questionnaire. I would advise you further, but you cant afford me.
-Fed Law Clerk adept at finding all the angles.
DNJ rules, again.
the fundamental problem with this dating idea is that it requires dating a lawyer. at least when a lawyer dates a non-lawyer, he/she has to emphasize humanity/non-lawyer attributes.

Can I get matched with the calendar lawyer from Boston?
This is all well and good, but I'm looking for a wife to take to firm functions, and my type is Hill ex-staffers who take money for unprotected sex from multiple men.
I am already dating a CWT NY 05 associate. She likes to get her freak nasty on.
Please post a normal picture of Marin at some point.
Will this service accommodate men who like to have sexual relations with other men's sphincters?
Well played 59.
Elie is so excited for his TTTurkey tomorrow.
57 = LOSER; couldn't get laid with Kash's help
66: For shame, Turkey is not TTT.
Damn boy, thats the biggest AIDS I've ever seen. You really went full Texas on that one.
Problem is that the guy:girl ratio of this will be about 25:1. And the Breyer:Scalia ratio will be about 6:1. So, if you're a liberal woman, you'll have a wide field of choices for a match. If you're a conservative man, might want to try outside the women's restroom at the next FedSoc convention.
I would also like to point out that if this is what most people on this site's internal monologues are like I'm pretty sure we're not talking about "dating" each other.
Wouldn't you always be worried that you're dating the guy who thinks it's funny to post 99 comments about other mens' poopenshafts??
1 nighter ftw, but don't be raising hopes about little ATL babies running around...
And 67: I actually think 57's comment was illuminating. So stuff it, loser who has to comment that other commenters are losers. :-D
57 here,
72....awwww, thanks! Its nice to be recognized.
I am sure that 67 responded that way because he has never felt the warm embrace of a woman, and believes that I dashed his hopes of doing so by making that observation. I, however, was merely pointing out the angles, and not making a judgment on the merits of this exercise.
Have yourself a splendid thanksgiving.
57.
Liberal woman here; I filled it out and thought it was funny. Don't really care if my employer knows what my favorite SCOTUS justice is; they already know how many hours I bill in a year (while considering myself to have a fairly decent social life); and if they asked me whether I wanted to make partner I would tell them. That said, 71 makes the best case against - the number of idiotic guys on this site posting "guys at my high school," "size of HIV in Texas" (WTF?), or sexist/racist/homophobic drivel is so tiresome ... I bet if I actually get assigned a date, I spend it wondering whether the guy is frat stud/Loyola 2L/nervous T-10 1L and thinking that 10 to 1 the guy is just hoping he gets a ONS out of it that he can brag about on ATL.
C'mon, ATL. Find me The One (Night Stand).
Hmm, how about a quick note from the editors here regarding how many people are actually responding to this?
Might push a few chickens off the fence...
I agree with 75, but would also like to know any geographic diversity--all NY, or fair representation of different cities.
74,
Yeah. So?
Guys in my high school used to bang liberal-chick lawyers all the time. It was no big deal.
Luv,
frat stud/Loyola 2L/nervous T-10 1L
74: at least you have come to the same conclusion as most of the men--this is designed for ONS, not true love. Perhaps you'll get a steady option, or maybe you will find love, though don't bet on the latter.
Dear Kash:
Let's stop beating around the bush. We all know this was your way of getting my personal email address so you can finally take a ride on the glass cock.
Love,
Former Thelen and current Orrick partner, the Glass Cock
can law students do this???
80: I'm an attorney who is not opposed to dating law students. In fact, maybe this is better than going for the summer associates--all year long and no messy problems with firm policy.
80/81 - I'm a lawyer who is opposed to dating a law student. They just don't understand that sometimes when you have document review until 2am and they're out drinking you really don't want to be getting their drunk dials/texts.
If there are any attractive female law students in Houston looking, I'm open to that.
82 - get a life. And if you're often doing doc review until 2 AM in the morning, I'd consider managing your time better and/or finding a new shop.
74-- well put. are you available sat nite?
"Problem is that the guy:girl ratio of this will be about 25:1. And the Breyer:Scalia ratio will be about 6:1. So, if you're a liberal woman, you'll have a wide field of choices for a match. If you're a conservative man, might want to try outside the women's restroom at the next FedSoc convention."
As a left-leaning gal, I like these odds.
However, as a west-coaster, I suspect the 72:1 bias in favor of east-coasters will probably override any statistical advantages.
First match:
Elie's perfect mate a 2 foot hoagie with extra mayo....
Well I guess the system is pretty good maybe I should check it out
86 - you have at least one fellow (liberal) west coaster here...
too bad I live in a city with no singles in the first place, much less single lawyers who read ATL....Elie what is the geographic scope on this?
There's already a dating site for lawyers. J-date.com
Kash, you're my perfect match.
I filled out their survey. No big deal. One question puzzled me, "Who is your favorite legal character?" What's the angle here?
59 - nice link.
Would you care to go on a date some time?
85 - unintentionally stole your joke, realized it after scrolling further down. Clearly we think alike, and I'd like to try my luck with you. I'm free Saturday, hot stuff.
Hugs and Kisses,
93.
Why haven't you responded to me yet???? I thought we had something special.
I'm so lonely.
93, 94.
This blog is a HUGE sausage party. Prime example: the large number of "I love cock" postings. Nice for the ladies who want to leave that pantsuit crumpled in the corner of some d-bag's loft in NYC, however, for those of us who are a) male; and b) not gay, this is a dead end.
4, I demand an explanation as to what exactly "Angry fist of God style is". It sounds hilarious.
http://pics.livejournal.com/twoflower/pic/00021101
nevermind, got it. post of the month.
81- Excellent attitude to have. Hopefully, there are a decent number of guys in SF who share your willingness to date law students.
Everyone knows that lawyer on lawyer dating is a recipe for disaster.
99: Thank you. If only I were in SF...
Three thoughts:
1. Mystal is prospecting for dates.
2. If ATL sets someone up with a serial killer, this blog will have blood on its hands.
3. If this actually works (or it turns out she can get pregnant even when she is on top) Mystal and Kash get to be the god parents. Weird.
Who has time to date? Let's get to the bottom line.
I am seeking a hot female associate who enjoys running redlines, alphabetizing defined terms, responding to pointless emails at 2am, and would be open to sharing her apartment and bed rent-free. In return I am willing to offer scintillating conversation about NY sports teams, assorted thought-provoking observations on the personal and professional failings of yourself and your friends, and endless speculation about what firms are really "TTT."
Oh, and also hurried, sleepy, sweaty morning sex. For your benefit, not mine. For my benefit, I'll be sleeping with the hot unemployed chick who hangs out at the Starbucks. You know the one I mean.
