The work

You will use your legal judgment to create difficult, gradable problems from realistic legal scenarios and supporting materials. You will also explain the correct analysis and set clear standards for evaluating answers.

The work includes reviewing tasks created by other attorneys and identifying legal errors, unclear reasoning, or problems that cannot be graded reliably.

• Build complex legal reasoning tasks from legal practice scenarios.
• Write the correct legal analysis and explain the reasoning behind the conclusion.
• Define objective criteria so another attorney can reach the same assessment.
• Review other attorneys' tasks for legal accuracy and sound reasoning.
• Flag tasks that are ambiguous or cannot be graded reliably.

This is flexible, project-based contractor work designed to fit around an existing legal practice. The role is remote for U.S.-licensed attorneys.

• $80 to $150 per hour equivalent, paid per task that meets the project specifications.
• Part-time contractor work with a flexible project-based arrangement.
• Open to U.S.-licensed attorneys.
• J.D. and an active U.S. bar license in good standing.

• Ability to distinguish defensible legal conclusions from unsupported or ambiguous answers.

Helpful background

A judicial clerkship, law school teaching or legal instruction, law review or journal editorial work, or previous legal AI or legal data project experience can be useful. Seasoned litigation experience is especially relevant, but prior AI experience is not required.
