Legal Expert: AI Legal Reasoning Review
About the Role
What if you could use your legal expertise to make AI systems reason more like a good lawyer?
We're looking for experienced US legal professionals in the Charlotte area to review AI-generated legal analysis, judge whether it holds up, and correct it where it doesn't. You'll assess answers on tasks like contract and case analysis, flag flawed reasoning, and explain your judgment clearly in writing.
Your expertise will help determine whether AI models can reach the conclusions a careful, experienced attorney would reach — and where they fall short.
This is a remote, hourly contract opportunity for US-based professionals who want to apply their legal knowledge to an emerging area of AI development.
Position Details
Organization: Alignerr Type: Hourly Contract Location: Remote (US-based, must be legally eligible to work in the US) Commitment: Typically 25–35 hours per week, based on project demand Engagement: Work is dynamic. Volume follows project demand and may pause or end at any time without notice.
What You'll Do
Evaluate AI-Generated Legal Analysis
Review AI responses to legal questions and tasks, including contract and case analysis. Assess whether the reasoning is sound, the conclusions are supported, and the answer is complete.
Identify and Correct Errors
Spot inaccuracies, flawed logic, missing considerations, and unsupported conclusions. Write corrected answers that reflect how an experienced attorney would approach the problem.
Provide Clear Written Explanations
Explain what is wrong, why it matters, and how to fix it — with the clarity and precision you would bring to a client memo.
Who You Are
- An experienced legal professional with strong command of legal reasoning and analysis
- Skilled at contract or case analysis, or equivalent legal work
- Able to critically judge AI-generated answers and tell a sound argument from a confident but wrong one
- An excellent, precise written communicator
- Legally eligible to work in the US
- Comfortable with variable weekly hours that follow project demand
Relevant Expertise
Experience in one or more of the following is particularly valuable:
- Contract drafting, review, and negotiation
- Litigation, case research, and legal analysis
- Regulatory and compliance work
- Legal writing, such as memos, briefs, and opinions
- Mentoring, supervising, or reviewing the work of other attorneys
Why You'll Love This
- Apply your expertise to AI development. Help shape how AI systems handle legal reasoning.
- Work remotely from your own location.
- Flexible contract work that fits around your existing professional commitments.
- Meaningful work. Your judgment directly improves the quality of AI systems.
