Overview

Handshake AI hires lawyers with active or recent practice experience to review AI output for legal soundness. The work centers on legal analysis, statutory interpretation, case law reasoning, and drafting standards. You design job-related prompts and critique model responses for accuracy, clarity, and relevance to real legal practice. This remote contract role runs alongside a primary legal job and is not a law firm or in-house counsel position. The program operates year-round, placement depends on current project needs, and no AI or machine learning background is required.

What You'll Do6

  • Create job-related prompts that reflect real legal tasks and practice scenarios.
  • Review AI-generated answers for legal accuracy, reasoning quality, and clarity.
  • Check model output against statutory interpretation and case law reasoning.
  • Assess whether responses meet professional drafting and legal communication standards.
  • Provide written feedback that explains errors and suggests improvements.
  • Follow project guidelines when scoring or classifying AI responses.

Requirements7

  • Juris Doctor degree from an accredited law school.
  • Active law license in good standing, or a license that was active and remains in good standing.
  • Experience practicing law in a firm, corporate legal department, or government agency.
  • Clear writing and close attention to detail.
  • Ability to work alone and follow written project instructions.
  • Sound professional judgment, reliability, and a strong commitment to confidentiality.
  • Comfort handling sensitive or proprietary information with discretion.

Who Should Apply

Licensed lawyers who hold a JD, have practiced in a firm, corporate, or government role, and write with precision fit this project. The work suits professionals who can review dense legal material, follow written guidelines, and commit about 5 to 20 hours during an active project. Candidates without a JD or an active or previously active license in good standing seldom move forward, even with related legal training. A common low-fit signal is thin written feedback that states an answer is wrong without explaining the legal reasoning. People who need a full-time employee role, guaranteed hours, or STEM OPT sponsorship should look elsewhere.

Salary Insight

Pay reaches $110 per hour as an independent contractor rate. No annual salary or benefits attach to the role because Handshake AI treats the work as project-based contract engagement. The project sets no minimum hours, and many contributors log about 5 to 20 hours each week when assigned to an active project. Expect the exact rate to depend on the project and your legal background.
