What You'll Do5

• Check reference answers against the matter files and applicable law, and correct errors.
• Create and refine rubrics with pass/fail criteria tied to specific facts and legal rules, including judgment calls that non-lawyers may miss.
• Review attempts from leading AI models and confirm that any failures rest on fair, defensible grounds.
• Work within your practice area. Areas include corporate and M&A, commercial contracts, civil litigation and arbitration, employment, real estate, intellectual property, estate planning, family, criminal and appellate, administrative and regulatory, antitrust, privacy, securities, environmental, health, and insurance coverage.
