About the Role our partner is partnering with a leading AI lab to train frontier models on high-quality legal reasoning data. This is an evergreen talent pool for experienced US In-House Counsel — by applying, you join a standing bench and are considered for ongoing and upcoming legal-AI projects as they launch. We review applications on a rolling basis and reach out when work that fits your background comes up.

Typical work includes recurring side-by-side evaluations and legal dataset generation: you'll compare AI-generated legal work, judge which response is stronger and why, and create realistic in-house legal tasks and reference answers.

What You'll Do

  • Compare pairs of responses to in-house legal tasks (contract review, policy and compliance questions, risk assessments and business-facing legal advice) and decide which is stronger, with clear reasoning
  • Write concise justifications grounded in the source documents and applicable US law
  • Create realistic legal prompts, fact patterns and model answers drawn from your in-house experience
  • Flag errors, gaps and risky advice in AI-generated legal content
  • Attend onboarding and calibration sessions

You're a Good Fit If You

  • Are admitted to practice in at least one US state (active bar membership)
  • Have 3+ years of legal practice, including in-house experience advising a business on contracts, compliance, employment, risk or disputes
  • Hold a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school
  • Write clearly and pay close attention to detail

Bonus Qualifications

  • 2+ years of experience at an AmLaw 100 firm (strongly preferred)
  • Prior work on legal AI projects with our partner
  • Prior data annotation, AI evaluation or legal-benchmark experience

Role Highlights

  • Evergreen talent pool — apply once and be considered for ongoing projects as they launch
  • Fully remote, flexible hours; recurring tasks as new work comes up
  • Applications reviewed on a rolling basis

What to know before you apply

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $1,000–$1,200 and 20 hours about $2,000–$2,400 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Location
Only applicants located in United States can be paid for this role. Platforms usually verify where you are, so apply only if you are based there.
Credentials
The listing asks for a law degree / bar admission, 3+ years of experience. Put it in the first line of your profile: reviewers screen for it before anything else.
Timing
This listing is new today. Projects can close once they have enough people, so it is worth applying while it is open.
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.
