AI Training Work — Why It Matters

AI training (also called data labeling or human feedback work) is the human side of building modern AI. Lawyers and litigators play a vital role by evaluating model outputs, clarifying legal reasoning, and providing examples that teach models to produce accurate, professional legal content.

This is flexible, remote work that directly shapes how next-generation legal AI systems reason about facts, law, and persuasive writing.

The Role

We are hiring experienced litigators and practicing attorneys to evaluate, refine, and enhance AI-generated legal content for a customer project focused on law and emerging technology. This is a remote contractor role for U.S.-based applicants.

You will use your litigation experience and legal judgment to identify errors, improve legal analysis, and draft sample language so models learn to produce higher-quality legal outputs.

What You'll Do

• Apply legal reasoning and litigation experience to evaluate AI-generated briefs, arguments, memos, and other legal outputs.
• Assess AI outputs for factual and legal accuracy, analytical rigor, and adherence to professional standards.
• Provide detailed, written feedback identifying errors, logical inconsistencies, and areas for improvement.
• Contribute expert judgment on ambiguous or complex edge cases to inform model calibration.
• Draft or edit sample legal language and arguments to strengthen model understanding of litigation scenarios.
• Collaborate asynchronously with a cross-functional project team and incorporate iterative feedback in clear written communications.

Requirements

All stated requirements below come from the project and are mandatory.

• Juris Doctor (JD) degree from an ABA-accredited U.S. law school.
