Compensation: $83-$105 per hour

We are seeking experienced legal professionals to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. In this role, you will contribute your legal expertise to the development of rigorous evaluation benchmarks designed to assess how effectively AI systems understand and reason about complex legal concepts.

You may contribute through one of two task types:

Question Authoring: Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions within your area of legal expertise, assess their difficulty, and submit them for quality review.

Question Verification: Review existing questions for legal accuracy, clarity, completeness, and rigor. Make necessary edits, evaluate difficulty, and document the reasoning behind any changes.


RequirementsLaw Domains Covered

Opportunities span a broad range of legal specialties, including:

  • Intellectual Property, Privacy & Technology
  • Regulatory & Government Affairs
  • Securities & Capital Markets
  • Financial Regulation & Compliance
  • Private Equity
  • M&A & Transaction Structuring
  • Antitrust, Merger Control & Competition
  • Healthcare, Life Sciences & Pharmaceuticals
  • Environmental, Energy & ESG/Climate Law
Key Responsibilities
  • Develop original legal questions that assess deep conceptual understanding, analytical ability, and legal reasoning rather than surface-level recall.
  • Ensure every question is clear, unambiguous, self-contained, and sufficiently detailed to support a definitive answer.
  • Classify questions by difficulty level: Medium (introductory undergraduate), Hard (advanced undergraduate), or Expert (postgraduate level and above).
  • Provide one correct answer along with nine plausible but subtly incorrect alternatives designed to challenge advanced legal reasoning.
  • Develop concise, logically structured solution explanations that demonstrate the appropriate legal reasoning process.
  • Provide 1–5 credible academic or professional references for each question, drawing from reputable legal publications, academic sources, case law, statutes, and legal repositories.
  • For verification assignments, identify issues involving legal accuracy, clarity, completeness, precision, or solvability and clearly explain any recommended revisions.
  • Apply consistent quality standards across questions and contribute to the development of reliable, gold-standard legal evaluation benchmarks.
Ideal Qualifications
  • JD, LLM, SJD, or doctoral-level qualification in Law or a closely related discipline.
  • Master's-level candidates may be considered where they demonstrate exceptional expertise in a specialized legal domain.
  • Strong command of legal reasoning, statutory and regulatory interpretation, case analysis, and legal research.
  • Deep expertise in at least one of the covered practice areas.
  • Experience with legal education, bar examination content development, academic assessment, judicial clerkships, legal research, or legal writing is highly valued.
  • Excellent written English with the ability to communicate complex legal concepts clearly, precisely, and concisely.
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to identify subtle legal inaccuracies or ambiguities.
  • Prior experience with AI evaluation, training data, benchmarking, or human-in-the-loop research is a plus.
Opportunity Details
  • Commitment: 10+ hours per week
  • Work Arrangement: Fully remote
  • Work Style: Asynchronous and flexible
  • Engagement: Project-based opportunities with potential for continued participation based on performance and project requirements
Application Process

Interested candidates can submit a resume or relevant professional background highlighting their legal specialization and experience. Selected applicants may be asked to complete a short sample assessment or provide additional information about their subject-matter expertise.

Equal Opportunity

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

  • Work will not require access to confidential or proprietary information belonging to any current or former employer, client, or institution.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
