Job description

Overview

Models produce fluent legal analysis that is often subtly wrong: invented citations, misapplied precedent, and jurisdictional confusion. A plausible wrong answer in law has real consequences.

What you’ll actually do

• Draft prompts that test how models handle contracts, statutes, procedure, and case analysis.
• Review AI output for invented citations, misapplied precedent, and jurisdictional errors, and rate the reasoning.
• Write the correct analysis when the model falls short, with the clarity of a well-drafted memo.

What we look for

• JD or equivalent, with practice experience or strong academic background.
• Sharp legal research and writing skills across at least one practice area.
• Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
