When it comes to romance and dating in the legal profession, the pickings can be slim, and that’s why lawyers and law students often try to date people they meet outside of their scholarly pursuits — if they have the time and social skills necessary to meet people outside the law at all.

News about recent law grads’ employment woes and student debt has spread through the mainstream media like wildfire, and it’s made dating outside of the legal world even harder. After all, it’s incredibly rare to come across a potential match within the dating pool who finds unemployment and six figures of debt sexy.

One lawyer, however, was lucky enough to find the rarest of roses in his search for a date — a girl who was so obsessed with the idea of law school that she was turned on by anything having to do with law. Realizing how truly blessed he was to have found such a woman, he decided to do the most lawyerly thing he could think of to make some progress in his quest to get her to suck his Juris D: he drafted a dating contract.

Here’s an excerpt from this ingenious lawyer’s three-page Dating Agreement:

In consideration of their “mutual bilateral promises,” this lawyer proposed a Date, which would consist of “either a wine and movie night or dinner and drinks” on the Beach. This smooth operator even managed to sneak an automatic weekly renewal period into the Agreement so that he’d be able to continue dating this girl for up to three months.

From a force majeure clause to severability language, this dating contract has everything a lawyer could possibly want and need to enforce all of his romantic rights.

Unsurprisingly, the object of this lawyer’s affections fully executed the Dating Agreement. Here’s hoping he was able to “fully execute” their relationship, if you know what we mean.
