Overview

micro1 seeks contract paralegals for a customer project that uses legal data annotation to help train AI systems. You’ll apply your legal background to research, document review, case file management, and structured annotations, with work that helps models interpret legal materials. No AI experience is needed. The engagement is remote, and experienced paralegals from US-based law firms are encouraged to contribute, especially those familiar with Relativity and legal filings.

What You'll Do7

Research legal topics and analyze case materials.
Review, annotate, and summarize legal documents, case files, pleadings, and filings for data training.
Use eDiscovery platforms such as Relativity to find, categorize, and extract relevant information from large datasets.
Create detailed legal annotations and structured datasets for machine learning work.
Check legal data entries and annotations for accuracy, completeness, and quality.
Coordinate with project coordinators remotely to meet deliverable standards and project milestones.
Share knowledge of legal processes, terminology, and procedural nuances to improve AI systems’ understanding.

Requirements3

Strong written and verbal communication skills for clear documentation and feedback.
Precise legal analysis and documentation are essential to the engagement.
Prior experience in AI or data annotation is not required; the work calls for legal domain knowledge.

Preferred Qualifications6

Substantial paralegal experience at a US-based law firm or legal service provider.
Experience with legal research, document review, and drafting pleadings and filings.
Hands-on familiarity with eDiscovery tools, particularly Relativity.
Strong organizational skills for managing large volumes of complex legal data.
Careful, accurate, and reliable handling of sensitive legal information.
Interest in or curiosity about law and technology; prior AI or data annotation experience is a plus.

Who Should Apply

Paralegals with legal research, document review, case file management, or filing experience may be a fit, especially those familiar with Relativity. The project suits candidates who can communicate legal analysis with care; prior AI experience is not needed.
