About AI Training Work

AI training (also called data labeling or human feedback) is the human side of building intelligent systems: people review, annotate, and evaluate real-world examples so models learn to reason and act correctly.

This project focuses on legal documents used in land and real estate workflows. Your reviews will be converted into structured training data that helps legal AI understand conveyance, term, exclusivity, and compliance issues.

The Role

We are recruiting a Legal Document Reviewer to analyze land control instruments — deeds, ground leases, easements, rights of way, and related documents — and turn observations into standardized, high-quality annotations for AI training.

This is a remote, contractor, part-time role requiring 20+ hours per week. Compensation is hourly, range $42–$55/hr (typical top rate $55/hr). Work will be document-heavy and requires independent, accurate judgment.

• Employment type: Contractor, Part-time
• Time commitment: 20+ hours/week (remote)
• Pay: USD $42–$55 per hour

What You'll Do

Your work will support due diligence and AI-training pipelines by evaluating legal documents and producing clear, standardized outputs for senior legal review and model consumption.

• Review deeds, ground leases, rights of way, easement agreements and other site control instruments.
• Assess term, exclusivity, conveyance language, and execution issues within documents.
• Identify deficiencies, gaps, or non-compliant filings and flag them per project requirements.
• Organize findings into standardized formats suitable for senior legal review and AI annotation.
• Collaborate with senior reviewers to escalate complex issues and ensure data accuracy.

Requirements

Candidates must meet the substantive qualifications below. All requirements come from the project description and are needed to perform the role effectively.

• 5+ years experience as a paralegal or legal document reviewer (experience in energy, real estate, or infrastructure preferred).
• Hands-on experience reviewing land control instruments: deeds, ground leases, easements, rights of way.
• Proven ability to assess term, exclusivity, and conveyance language accurately.
• High attention to detail and ability to organize complex findings into structured, standardized formats.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote, document-heavy environment.
• Language: English required.

Helpful Background

The following are not required but will make you especially competitive for this project. If you have these experiences, highlight them in your application.

• Experience supporting utility-scale energy or transmission projects.
• Familiarity with PJM site control requirements or interconnection documentation.
• Prior legal practice or project experience on the U.S. East Coast (preferred, not mandatory).

How This Project Works

You will use a labeling platform (OTHER) to evaluate documents and submit annotated findings. Tasks include evaluation/rating, structured text generation, and data collection to support downstream legal review and model training.

Work is paid hourly on a contractor basis. Expect document packages and specific project guidelines that define what to flag and how to structure outputs; you will escalate complex issues to senior reviewers when needed.

• Data type: Documents
• Labeling types: Evaluation/Rating, Text Generation, Data Collection

Who Should Apply

Experienced paralegals, legal document reviewers, and land-rights specialists who want flexible, remote contract work and are excited to contribute their domain expertise to training legal AI should apply.

If you enjoy detailed document review, producing standardized outputs, and shaping how AI models reason about real-world legal instruments, this project is a strong fit.

• Ideal for specialists with 5+ years reviewing land control instruments.
• Good fit if you want part-time, remote hourly contract work and to influence AI development in the legal domain.
