Volga Partners is a U.S.-based company specializing in Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, catering to top technology giants and multinational corporations. We offer a spectrum of services including IT, business process outsourcing, advanced professional services, and crowdsourcing in both established and emerging markets. 

Our client, a leader in AI development, is seeking qualified candidates for an ongoing project focused on refining AI legal writing capabilities. We are looking for independent contractors interested in freelance, task-based work with a consistent workflow. 

About the Role

You will analyze AI-generated responses to legal prompts, compare outputs from different language models, and provide structured feedback based on professional legal writing standards. This is a unique opportunity to apply your legal eye for detail to the cutting-edge field of artificial intelligence. 

Key Responsibilities 
As a 1099 Contractor for this project, you will: 

  • Review & Evaluate: Assess AI-generated legal documents, briefs, and responses for accuracy, clarity, and stylistic quality. 
  • Compare Outputs: Analyze responses from multiple AI models against one another to determine which best adheres to US legal writing conventions. 
  • Apply Legal Standards: Evaluate content based on critical legal writing dimensions, including: 
  • Terminological Precision: Correct usage of legal jargon and defined terms. 
  • Syntactic Accuracy: Clarity of sentence structure to ensure proper legal interpretation. 
  • Formal Tone: Appropriate use of legal voice and passive constructions where necessary. 
  • Structural Coherence: Logical flow of legal reasoning and argumentation. 
  • Perform Structured Assessments: Complete True/False evaluations and ranking tasks based on defined rubrics. 
  • Provide Expert Insight: Identify gaps in AI writing quality and help refine the criteria used to train the models. 

Qualifications 

  • Professional Experience: Proven experience as a Paralegal or Legal Expert specializing in US law. 
  • Legal Knowledge: Deep understanding of the US legal system, legal terminology, and documentation standards (contracts, briefs, regulatory texts). 
  • Document Skills: Strong background in document review, legal research, or compliance drafting. 
  • Analytical Mindset: Exceptional attention to detail with the ability to assess nuanced differences in writing quality. 
  • Tech Comfort: Ability to work independently on a web-based evaluation platform. 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Paralegal certification or a degree in Legal Studies. 
  • Experience developing internal style guides, rubrics, or quality assurance standards. 
  • Familiarity with legal drafting conventions across different US jurisdictions.
