Reviews
Law Dating Couples & Singles
Sebastian booked us a tiny corner table in the West Village for our first date. We talked for four hours and closed the place down. Nine months later, he’s still my favorite person in New York.
Working BigLaw hours in the City makes dating almost impossible. Being able to hide my firm and just meet someone who gets why I’m still at my desk at 8 PM changed everything.
Honestly, I just didn’t want to date anyone in my small group at Yale. Ethan was clerking in Manhattan, took the train up for coffee, and now we spend every weekend together.
Most apps in D.C. feel like a networking event. This felt completely private and normal. One drink in Kalorama turned into dinner, and we’ve been together ever since.
I paused my profile during finals week and turned it back on the night my last exam ended. Matched with Liam that Thursday, met in Back Bay on Friday, and deleted every other app on Saturday.
Palo Alto is tiny when you’re in law school. Getting a private match once a week instead of swiping past classmates all day was such a relief. Best first date I’ve ever had.
Quick drinks in the West Loop turned into late-night steaks at Bavette’s. It’s just so much easier when you don’t have to explain what a brief deadline or a 1L curve is.
I switched my city to Toronto right before starting my summer term on Bay Street. Met Alistair my very first week in town, and he’s made Toronto feel like home.
No endless texting, no ghosting, and zero awkward small talk. Just a genuinely great match with someone sharp, funny, and on the exact same wavelength.
FAQ
Quick Answers
Yes. Founding membership is 100% free for verified J.D., LL.M., BCL, and LL.B. students as well as judicial law clerks and pupil barristers.
During signup (or anytime in your settings), you can enter your law school section or graduation cohort and any law firm or chambers email domain (for example,
@kirkland.com or @cliffordchance.com). Anyone matching those sections or firm domains is mutually excluded from your weekly matches, so you never cross paths with a coworker, partner, summer associate, or section-mate.
No. LawDating has zero public swipe feed or searchable directory. Your profile is only shared privately inside the Thursday 8:00 PM batch with 3–5 curated matches who have already passed academic or bar verification and cleared your privacy filters.
Practicing lawyers, judicial clerks, and barristers can verify using their official law firm, chambers, or court email address alongside their State Bar number, SRA/BSB roll number (UK), or Law Society number (Canada). Your work email is used strictly for one-time credential verification and is never displayed on your profile.
Every Thursday at 8:00 PM local time, you receive 3–5 compatible introductions based on your city, age preferences, and career stage. When both of you accept an introduction, a private chat opens with curated cocktail, wine bar, and coffee spots located halfway between your neighborhoods or chambers.
You can switch your active city up to two weeks before you relocate so your Thursday 8:00 PM introductions are already waiting when you land in New York, Washington D.C., London, Chicago, Boston, the Bay Area, or Toronto.
Yes. Members in corridor hubs (including Yale Law in New Haven with New York, Oxford & Cambridge with London, and Palo Alto with San Francisco) can opt into cross-corridor introductions for weekend dates.
Yes. Pause your weekly matches in one click during exam weeks, brief deadlines, or deal closings with zero algorithm penalty, or email [email protected] anytime.
