About the job
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.
As a legal expert you'll grade AI legal reasoning against the standard of a careful practitioner and write the analysis the model should have produced.
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.
Roles this fits
Common backgrounds: Corporate Counsel, Associate General Counsel.
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.
