The job description

micro1 is engaging Litigator / Practicing Attorneys to contribute expertise to a customer project focused on the intersection of law and emerging technology. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

Scope of Work

Apply legal reasoning and litigation experience to evaluate, refine, and enhance AI-generated legal content, such as briefs, arguments, and memos.
Review and assess AI outputs for factual and legal accuracy, analytical rigor, and adherence to professional standards.
Provide detailed, written feedback identifying errors, logical inconsistencies, and areas for improvement in legal responses.
Contribute expert judgment on ambiguous or complex edge cases, informing model calibration for nuanced legal issues.
Draft or edit sample legal language and arguments to strengthen model understanding of varied litigation and practice scenarios.
Collaborate asynchronously with a cross-functional project team, incorporating iterative feedback and delivering clear written communication.

Preferred Qualifications

JD degree from an ABA-accredited U.S. law school and active license in good standing in at least one U.S. jurisdiction.
3–15 years of post-JD legal experience, with a strong preference for trial, appellate, or litigation specialists.
Judicial clerkship experience at the federal or state level (trial or appellate courts) is highly valued.
Proven expertise in legal writing, with experience as a law journal editor or published legal author considered a plus.
Substantial trial experience, federal court admissions, or appellate practice background enhances your candidacy.
Demonstrated ability to communicate complex legal concepts with clarity, precision, and professionalism.
Prior instruction or teaching experience in legal education (law school faculty, adjunct, lecturer, or fellow) is desirable.
