We are seeking experienced legal professionals to author and review high-quality academic assessment content for an AI research initiative. In this role, you will contribute your legal expertise to the development of rigorous evaluation benchmarks designed to assess how effectively AI systems understand and reason about complex legal concepts.
You may contribute through one of two task types:
Question Authoring: Create original, challenging multiple-choice questions within your area of legal expertise, assess their difficulty, and submit them for quality review.
Question Verification: Review existing questions for legal accuracy, clarity, completeness, and rigor. Make necessary edits, evaluate difficulty, and document the reasoning behind any changes.
