About AI training work in legal
AI training (also called data labeling or human feedback) is the human side of building intelligent systems. For legal work this means reviewing model outputs for accuracy, spotting risks, checking citations, and writing model answers and drafting examples that teach models to be reliable and safe.
This industry offers flexible, remote contract work that often requires subject-matter expertise rather than prior machine-learning experience—so experienced attorneys can earn meaningful pay while influencing how legal AI performs.
• Tasks typically include evaluation, writing, and quality assurance of model-generated legal text.
• Work supports consumer and business-facing AI behaviors and requires careful judgment about legal risk and tone.
The role
OpenTrain is recruiting a Legal AI Response Reviewer to evaluate AI-generated legal answers, produce high-quality model content, and document clear legal analyses, checklists, policies, and memos. This is contract, part-time work delivered remotely via OpenTrain.
• Employment type: Contractor, part-time.
• Time commitment: 20+ hours per week.
• Labeling focus: text — evaluation ratings, text generation, and question answering.
What you'll do
Your primary responsibilities are to ensure AI outputs meet professional legal standards for accuracy, reasoning, and tone. Work combines careful review of model responses with original writing to create teaching examples and corrections.
• Review and compare AI-generated legal responses for correctness, reasoning quality, and prompt adherence.
• Identify weaknesses in issue spotting, legal reasoning, rule application, procedural steps, and risk handling.
• Fact-check legal concepts and citations when needed and flag misleading certainty or confidentiality risks.
• Write model answers, explanations, checklists, policies, memos, and drafting examples with precise tone.
Requirements
The role requires demonstrated legal qualifications and practice experience. All required items below are mandatory for consideration.
• JD/LLB or equivalent law degree.
• Active bar membership or eligibility in at least one jurisdiction.
• Minimum 5 years of professional legal practice.
• Strong issue-spotting, structured legal analysis, and precise drafting skills.
• Experience in one or more practice areas such as contracts, employment, privacy, corporate, litigation, IP, real estate, or compliance.
• Strong primary-source research skills (statutes, regulations, cases) and C1 English proficiency.
• Prior experience with AI data training, legal QA, editorial review, or knowledge management is strongly preferred.
Compensation, location & tools
Compensation is paid hourly. Rates vary by project and experience; posted pay parameters are provided below. You will use a web-based annotation/review platform supplied by the project.
