Location requirements
Join a growing network of industry experts supporting AI research and development.
Overview
We're building a select group of experienced legal professionals to help evaluate and improve how AI systems understand and reason about legal topics. You'll bring your real-world expertise to review content for accuracy, answer domain-specific questions, and share feedback that helps make AI tools more reliable and useful in legal contexts.
This is a flexible, part-time engagement — approximately 10 hours per week, fully remote, with the opportunity to continue and grow over time.
What You'll Do
-
Review and evaluate written content and AI-generated responses in your area of legal expertise for accuracy and quality.
-
Answer questions and provide clear, well-reasoned feedback based on your professional experience.
-
Help identify useful reference material relevant to your field.
-
Share insight into how legal professionals actually work — the tools, workflows, and standards you rely on day to day.
-
Collaborate with a small group of other subject-matter experts across different fields.
What We're Looking For
-
Admitted to a United States state bar. A background as a legal librarian is a plus, though not required.
-
2+ years of professional legal experience, ideally spanning more than one practice area (e.g. contracts, litigation, regulatory/compliance, corporate, IP).
-
Comfortable researching and writing using standard legal tools and references (case law databases, statutes, treatises).
-
Some experience writing or publishing legal content — memos, briefs, CLE materials, or similar — is a plus.
-
Comfortable using everyday AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT or similar).
-
Based in the United States.
-
Professional working English.
-
Able to commit reliably to about 10 hours per week.
