In short

You would help train advanced AI models on legal reasoning. Your job is to compare two AI answers to the same legal question and judge which one is better. The work is remote, on a freelance contract, paid 90 USD per hour. It may suit you if you are a lawyer who knows case law and enjoys careful, precise written analysis.

What you will do

  • Compare two AI-generated answers to the same prompt and decide which one is better.
  • Read the input files and each model's reasoning to guide your judgment.
  • Explain in writing why one answer is stronger, looking at legal accuracy, sound reasoning, and whether it is ready for a client.
  • Give written feedback that the research team uses to improve how the models behave.
  • Take part in onboarding and specialty calibration sessions.

What you need to apply

  • A J.D., LL.B., LL.M., or an equivalent law degree, or equivalent professional legal experience.
  • At least 2 years of professional experience practicing or researching law, for example in a law firm, in-house, in government, or in the judiciary.
  • Strong skills in legal research and legal writing, including case-law analysis.
  • Excellent written communication and close attention to detail.

Who can apply

The role is open to applicants worldwide, with no country restriction stated. You must hold the LAWYER credential listed for this job.

My tip

Apply early, because the role starts immediately and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Show your legal writing and case-law analysis clearly in your application, since that is what this team looks for.
