Role Title: Federal Civil Litigation Attorney

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

our partner is engaging experienced Federal Civil Litigation Attorneys to contribute their legal expertise to a cutting-edge AI research initiative. In this role, you'll help improve how next-generation AI systems draft, evaluate, and refine legal arguments and court motions. We're looking for practicing attorneys with strong federal civil litigation experience and a proven track record of successful motion practice. You'll use your professional judgment to assess the quality, persuasiveness, and structure of AI-generated legal writing, providing feedback that reflects real-world litigation standards.

Scope of Work

  • Review and compare AI-generated legal motions, assessing their persuasiveness, structure, clarity, tone, and overall quality.
  • Rank different versions of legal motions and provide clear explanations of your preferences and reasoning.
  • Evaluate whether AI-generated motions meet professional standards and identify areas requiring improvement.
  • Edit and refine legal motions to a ready-to-file standard, providing feedback on the changes made.
  • Develop realistic motion-writing assignments based on federal civil litigation scenarios.
  • Create evaluation criteria to assess the quality and effectiveness of AI-generated legal arguments.
  • Apply practical litigation experience to identify what makes legal writing persuasive, well-structured, and effective in court.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Juris Doctor (JD) degree and active U.S. bar membership in good standing.
  • Practicing attorney with substantial hands-on experience in federal civil litigation and motion drafting.
  • A proven track record of winning at least three court motions, with the ability to provide supporting court filings during the screening process.
  • Strong experience drafting substantive motions, including motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, or similar federal court filings.
  • Excellent legal research, analytical, and persuasive writing skills.
  • Ability to critically evaluate legal arguments and clearly explain what makes one approach more effective than another.
  • Strong attention to detail, particularly in legal reasoning, citation accuracy, document structure, and professional writing standards.
  • Experience in appellate litigation or a previous judicial clerkship combined with litigation practice is also highly relevant.

This is a 100% remote contract role, open to applicants worldwide in the countries the employer accepts.

What to know before you apply

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $1,500–$2,500 and 20 hours about $3,000–$5,000 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Openings
30 openings means this is a high-volume project. You are not competing for one seat: if you pass the test, there is room for you.
Location
Open worldwide in the countries the employer accepts. Payments usually go out through services like PayPal or Wise, so check one of them works in your country.
Credentials

Test tips for lawyers
  • Name the jurisdiction in every answer. Most rejected legal answers are correct law in the wrong place.
  • Read AI legal answers like opposing counsel: hunt for invented case citations and outdated statutes first.
  • Keep a one-page note of the key rules in your practice area. It speeds up every task.
