Your experience in legal research, legal writing, case analysis, and familiarity with U.S., U.K., or Canadian legal systems will ensure that each prompt and response is accurate, precise, and aligned with real-world legal reasoning. This is an opportunity to help shape how AI understands, processes, and interacts with legal information.

  • Have high attention to detail and a deep respect for legal precision.
  • Are currently based in the United States, United Kingdom, or Canada.


Role Highlights


  • Flexible workload: 10–20 hours per week, with potential to increase to 40 hours.

Role Start Date


  • This role will begin in mid to late-August with applications reviewed on a rolling basis.
