• Contribute training datasets and educational materials encoding bankruptcy practice knowledge

Who they want

• Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited U.S. law school and active license to practice bankruptcy law

• No AI or ML experience necessary - domain expertise in bankruptcy practice is the primary qualification

Main skills

What the interview asks about

1. 1.Drafting procedurally sound bankruptcy filings

   Courts reject improperly formatted or legally deficient pleadings. You must evaluate whether AI-generated drafts would survive motion practice and reflect professional standards.

   For example: “Draft a motion for relief from the automatic stay under Chapter 7 where the creditor has a security interest in collateral the debtor is not using. Include the legal standard you're applying, anticipated debtor arguments, and case law supporting your position.”

2. 2.Applying statutory interpretation to fact patterns

   Bankruptcy involves dense statutory language and court interpretation. AI must correctly parse statutes and apply them to new scenarios without missing critical distinctions.

   For example: “AI analyzes pre-filing credit card charges discharged under fraud exception. What's missing from its analysis? What factors or precedents would a real attorney consider?”

3. 3.Recognizing procedural and strategic traps

   Bankruptcy practice requires understanding not just what the law says but how courts interpret and apply it, and what procedural mistakes derail cases.

   For example: “AI recommends Chapter 13 when debtor's income exceeds median with high discretionary income. What's overlooked about means testing, disposable income, and plan viability?”

4. 4.Evaluating chapter-specific reasoning

   Chapter 7, 11, and 13 bankruptcies involve fundamentally different statutory frameworks and strategic considerations. The AI must reason correctly within each framework.

   For example: “AI gives generic answer about claim objections in Chapter 13. What specific rules on claim objections, priority disputes, and confirmation would a real attorney know that the model missed?”

5. 5.Spotting discharge exception complexity

   Discharge exceptions are heavily litigated and require precise application of statutory language and case interpretation. AI reasoning here must be rigorous.

   For example: “Ask AI whether a student loan qualifies for discharge under undue hardship. Evaluate its reasoning on legal standard, burden of proof, and factors courts in your circuit actually consider.”

6. 6.Practical advising and strategy assessment

   Bankruptcy practice requires not just knowing rules but advising clients on trade-offs and strategy. AI must understand practical bankruptcy decisions.

   For example: “Draft a comparison memo on Chapter 7 vs 13 covering asset treatment, discharge, timeline, and costs. Then evaluate what an AI model needs to generate similarly sound practical guidance.”

A task you may get

Draft a motion to dismiss a Chapter 13 plan confirmation objection on claim treatment. Review an AI analysis of a similar scenario and assess its reasoning on statutory requirements, case law, and procedure.

How to prepare

• Prepare 2-3 bankruptcy motions or pleadings from your own files that you can reference to illustrate professional standards in drafting and legal reasoning
• Review recent bankruptcy case decisions in your jurisdiction and be ready to discuss how statutory interpretation or procedural rules have shifted
• Compile a list of the most common errors or misconceptions you see in bankruptcy practice, and think through how you'd teach an AI system to avoid them
• Prepare a hypothetical Chapter 7, 13, or 11 scenario from your own practice and write your analysis of it to illustrate the depth of reasoning a trained AI should achieve
