Collaborate remotely with project managers and legal experts to meet project deliverables and quality benchmarks.
Contribute to quality assurance processes by validating AI outputs against legal accuracy and best practices.

Preferred Qualifications

Graduation from a U.S. law school with a J.D. degree; strong preference for alumni or current students of T14 law schools.
Experience as a law review or legal journal editor, with demonstrated commitment to editorial excellence (required for law students).
Exceptional Bluebook citation and legal cite-checking skills.
Proven ability to communicate clearly and professionally in both written and verbal formats.
