Why AI training matters — and why legal review is essential

AI training is the human side of building intelligent systems: models learn from examples prepared and reviewed by people. In legal applications, experienced reviewers shape how AI systems understand civil procedure, form documents, and give practical, reliable guidance.

As a reviewer on OpenTrain you directly influence the safety, accuracy, and usefulness of AI-driven legal guidance used by people seeking help with housing, family, consumer debt, and bankruptcy matters.

The role

You will evaluate AI-generated civil legal guidance for procedural accuracy, documentation quality, and practical usefulness. This is hands-on expert review work: identify filing errors, spot missing steps, and provide clear, structured written feedback that improves model outputs.

This is a US-only, remote contractor role, part-time (20+ hours/week) paid hourly at $70/hr. Work focuses on text-based evaluation and text-generation tasks using established review guidelines.

• Review AI-generated legal guidance for civil legal workflows and common scenarios
• Evaluate procedural correctness, filing steps, and documentation quality
• Assess scenarios in housing, family, consumer debt, and bankruptcy

Requirements

• Significant experience as a senior paralegal or accredited representative (required)
• Strong knowledge of civil legal procedures, especially filing and documentation steps
• Experience supporting housing, family, consumer debt, or bankruptcy matters
• Excellent written communication and the ability to produce clear, structured feedback
• English fluency and eligibility to work remotely from the United States

Preferred qualifications

• Legal aid, nonprofit legal services, or experience supporting underserved populations
• Familiarity with jurisdiction-specific filing procedures and local court forms
• Experience mentoring or training legal support staff
