You will complete tasks spanning legal document review, case research, statutory analysis, and structured legal annotations — applying your legal training to real-world materials under the guidance of experienced practitioners. Work is over the next 2–3 weeks, asynchronous, and assigned on a project-by-project basis, with an expected commitment of 10–20 hours per week for the projects you accept. This position offers exceptional pay, direct exposure to complex legal work, and a meaningful addition to your resume ahead of graduation.

Responsibilities

  • Review and analyze legal documents including contracts, agreements, filings, and regulatory materials

  • Produce structured annotations with precise source citations including document name, page number, and verbatim text
  • Follow detailed review guidelines and maintain high accuracy and consistency across assigned tasks

Requirements

  • Currently enrolled in an ABA-accredited law school (1L, 2L, or 3L)
  • Strong academic record demonstrating analytical rigor and legal reasoning ability
  • Excellent written communication skills with the ability to produce clear, well-organized legal analysis
  • Ability to work independently, follow detailed guidelines, and manage time effectively across asynchronous tasks

Preferred Qualifications

  • Coursework or concentration in contracts, real estate, energy law, administrative law, or regulatory compliance
  • Prior experience in a legal internship, clinic, law review, or moot court setting
  • Familiarity with legal research platforms such as Westlaw, Harvey, LexisNexis, or Bloomberg Law

Why Apply

  • Flexible Time Commitment – Work on your schedule without disrupting your coursework or commitments
  • Startup Exposure – Work directly with an early-stage Y Combinator-backed company, gaining hands-on experience that sets you apart
  • Resume Building – Gain substantive legal experience that stands out to employers, clerkships, and firms
