In this role, you'll help improve how next-generation AI systems draft, evaluate, and refine legal arguments and court motions.

Evaluate whether AI-generated motions meet professional standards and identify areas requiring improvement. Edit and refine legal motions to a ready-to-file standard, providing feedback on the changes made. Develop realistic motion-writing assignments based on federal civil litigation scenarios. Create evaluation criteria to assess the quality and effectiveness of AI-generated legal arguments. Apply practical litigation experience to identify what makes legal writing persuasive, well-structured, and effective in court.

A proven track record of winning at least three court motions, with the ability to provide supporting court filings during the screening process. Strong experience drafting substantive motions, including motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, or similar federal court filings. Excellent legal research, analytical, and persuasive writing skills. Ability to critically evaluate legal arguments and clearly explain what makes one approach more effective than another. Strong attention to detail, particularly in legal reasoning, citation accuracy, document structure, and professional writing standards. Experience in appellate litigation or a previous judicial clerkship combined with litigation practice is also highly relevant.
