About the role

About the Role

What if you could use your legal expertise to make AI systems reason more like a good lawyer?

We're looking for experienced US legal professionals in the Washington, DC area — including those with regulatory, policy, government, and administrative law backgrounds — to review AI-generated legal analysis, judge whether it holds up, and correct it where it doesn't. You'll assess answers on tasks like contract and case analysis, flag flawed reasoning, and explain your judgment clearly in writing.

Your expertise will help determine whether AI models can reach the conclusions a careful, experienced attorney would reach — and where they fall short.

This is a remote, hourly contract opportunity for US-based professionals who want to apply their legal knowledge to an emerging area of AI development.

What You'll Do

Evaluate AI-Generated Legal Analysis

Review AI responses to legal questions and tasks, including contract and case analysis. Assess whether the reasoning is sound, the conclusions are supported, and the answer is complete.

Identify and Correct Errors

Spot inaccuracies, flawed logic, missing considerations, and unsupported conclusions. Write corrected answers that reflect how an experienced attorney would approach the problem.

Provide Clear Written Explanations

Who You Are

  • Skilled at contract, regulatory, or case analysis, or equivalent legal work.
  • Able to critically judge AI-generated answers and tell a sound argument from a confident but wrong one.
  • An excellent, precise written communicator.
  • Legally eligible to work in the US.
  • Comfortable with variable weekly hours that follow project demand.

Relevant Expertise

Experience in one or more of the following is particularly valuable:

  • Regulatory and compliance work, including federal agency practice
  • Administrative law, policy analysis, and government contracting
  • Contract drafting, review, and negotiation
  • Litigation, case research, and legal analysis
  • Legal writing, such as memos, briefs, opinions, and policy documents
  • Mentoring, supervising, or reviewing the work of other attorneys

Why You'll Love This

  • Apply your expertise to AI development. Help shape how AI systems handle legal reasoning.
  • Earn competitive compensation for specialized legal expertise.
  • Work remotely from your own location — no commute, no office.
