Litigator / Practicing Attorney (US)

What you would do

• Assess AI-generated legal briefs and arguments for factual correctness, case law accuracy, and sound legal reasoning
• Review AI output for compliance with evidence rules, procedural law, and the standards of appellate versus trial practice
• Provide detailed written feedback identifying legal errors, reasoning gaps, and opportunities for stronger argumentation
• Judge novel or ambiguous legal issues where multiple positions are defensible, and communicate nuanced calibration to the AI
• Draft or refine sample legal arguments and language that exemplify professional legal writing for AI model training

Who they want

• JD from ABA-accredited U.S. law school with current license in good standing in a U.S. jurisdiction
• Between 3-15 years practicing law post-graduation; trial, appellate, or litigation specialists strongly preferred
• Judicial clerkship experience (federal or state court, trial or appellate level) valued as evidence of analytical rigor
• Proven expertise in legal writing; law journal editorship or published legal articles a plus
• Remote, asynchronous collaboration; fluent written English with precision in legal communication

Main skills

What the interview asks about

1. 1.Case law application and error detection

   Legal reasoning hinges on correctly applying precedent; this tests whether you spot when an AI misreads or misapplies a case.

   For example: “An AI cites Miranda v. Arizona for the proposition that custodial interrogation is always inadmissible without a warning. Identify what error this contains and how you would provide feedback that teaches the correct legal principle.”

2. 2.Evidentiary rule mastery

   Trial practice depends on knowing evidence rules; this checks whether you can judge whether an AI-drafted argument would survive a Daubert or impeachment challenge.

   For example: “An AI drafts an argument relying on hearsay that fits the business records exception but lacks proper foundation. Describe what would make your feedback to the AI both specific and pedagogically useful for its next attempt.”

3. 3.Appellate versus trial standard differences

   Appeal and trial briefs follow different conventions and standards of review; this tests whether you can articulate these differences.

   For example: “An AI writes a trial brief arguing the judge erred in admitting evidence. Explain why this works in trial but how an appellate brief would reframe it, and what you would teach the AI about audience and burden.”

4. 4.Ambiguous legal position calibration

   Some legal questions lack clear answers; this checks whether you can communicate nuance without equivocation.

   For example: “An AI drafts a memo concluding that a novel First Amendment claim is 'likely to succeed on the merits.' You believe the law is genuinely unsettled. Write feedback that calibrates the strength of the position without simply saying 'you are wrong.'”

5. 5.Legal writing clarity and convention

   Judges and colleagues judge arguments partly on writing quality; this tests whether you can spot weak legal prose.

   For example: “An AI-drafted brief paragraph is syntactically correct but buries the legal principle in a dense 140-word sentence. Rewrite it for clarity, and explain what you would teach the AI about professional legal writing.”

A task you may get

Write feedback on an AI trial brief paragraph that misapplies precedent or misses an evidentiary objection, identifying the error and guiding the AI toward a stronger approach.

How to prepare

• Select a recent case from your practice and prepare to explain the key legal issue, applicable rule, and where an AI might reasonably err.
• Gather one legal brief or memo you have written; review it for clarity of legal reasoning, citation accuracy, and compliance with court rules or professional convention.
• Prepare an explanation of how standards of review differ in trial, appellate, and specialized court contexts, using examples from your own practice.
• Review a published legal article in an unsettled law area and prepare to discuss how reasonable lawyers might disagree, and how you would communicate this in feedback.
