Overview

micro1 seeks experienced civil rights attorneys to join a client project that trains next-generation AI systems. You will apply your knowledge of civil rights law, statutory interpretation, and case law analysis to shape how models learn and reason. No AI background is needed; your legal expertise is the core requirement. The role is remote and contractor-based, with compensation ranging from $140 to $400 per hour.

What You'll Do7

Examine complex civil rights statutes, regulations, and case law to determine relevance and accuracy.
Perform thorough legal research and produce written summaries, memos, or analyses that highlight key issues and precedents.
Create and review realistic civil rights scenarios, hypotheticals, and legal problems for AI model development.
Assess AI-generated legal analyses and offer expert critique to ensure they meet legal standards.
Work with interdisciplinary teams to clarify legal concepts, resolve ambiguities, and maintain input quality.
Draft clear, concise, and accurate legal content for various learning contexts.
Spot emerging trends and potential risks in civil rights law as they relate to AI and technology platforms.

Requirements7

Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school and admission to the bar in at least one jurisdiction.
Substantial experience practicing civil rights law, preferably with a background at prominent (BigLaw) firms.
Strong record of legal research, writing, and case law analysis in complex, high-stakes matters.
Exceptional critical thinking and keen attention to detail in both analysis and communication.
Proven ability to interpret statutes and policies and to explain legal concepts to non-legal audiences.
Experience collaborating in multidisciplinary or technology-driven environments.
Interest in the intersection of law, policy, and emerging technologies, particularly AI and its societal impacts.

Who Should Apply

Attorneys with a JD, active bar membership, and substantial civil rights law experience, ideally from BigLaw firms, who excel at legal research, writing, and case law analysis. Candidates should be comfortable explaining legal concepts to non-legal audiences and eager to apply their expertise to AI development.
