• Review and 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 in legal responses.
• Contribute expert judgment on ambiguous or complex edge cases, informing model calibration for nuanced legal issues.
• Draft or edit sample legal language and arguments to strengthen model understanding of varied litigation and practice scenarios.
• Collaborate asynchronously with a cross-functional project team, incorporating iterative feedback and delivering clear written communication.

Preferred Qualifications

• JD degree from an ABA-accredited U.S. law school and active license in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
• 3–15 years of post-JD legal experience, with a strong preference for trial, appellate, or litigation specialists.
• Judicial clerkship experience at the federal or state level (trial or appellate courts) is highly valued.
• Proven expertise in legal writing, with experience as a law journal editor or published legal author considered a plus.
• Substantial trial experience, federal court admissions, or appellate practice background enhances your candidacy.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate complex legal concepts with clarity, precision, and professionalism.
• Prior instruction or teaching experience in legal education (law school faculty, adjunct, lecturer, or fellow) is desirable.
