I recently graduated from law school, and I'm hoping to officially be an attorney soon. I work for a small law firm in Cleveland where we do mostly patent law, and I really enjoy the work and the people I work with. Luckily, the poor economy hasn't effected us too much, so far.

Since I've been in law school for the last three years, I've had little time to get out and meet new people, or to really have much of a social life at all. That's the main reason I'm here - to meet new people and make new friends. Finding someone with whom I can have a long-term relationship would be a bonus. I've also lost touch with what I enjoy doing, so it would be great to find someone to go out exploring with. Hiking, checking out museums, plays, symphonies and orchestras, comedy clubs . . . you name it, I'll probably enjoy trying it.

As for what I'm looking for . . . intelligence and an ability to communicate are musts. Everything else is negotiable. :) Of course, as it is for all of us, looks are somewhat important to me, but usually won't be a deal-breaker. I have a kind of a pet peeve with regards to good grammar, so if you don't know how to spell or create decent sentence structure, you might want to move on.
