Criminal Law Attorney, Part-Time Criminal Legal AI Training - Remote (United States)

• $140–$400 per hour

• 100% remote

• Part-time

• 20 or more hours a week, you choose when

Work on the cutting edge of legal AI, on your own schedule, and get paid for the criminal-law expertise you already have.

The AI systems everyone is talking about are trained and tested by real criminal law attorneys. The teams building them need attorneys to work through case files and court filings, create realistic scenarios and arguments drawn from criminal practice, judge whether the legal writing the AI produces is correct and ethically sound, and pinpoint what it gets wrong. Their judgment helps shape the next generation of AI models for specialized legal work. This work can be done remotely alongside your current practice.

What you’ll do

• Review case files, court filings and other legal documents for accuracy and relevance to criminal practice

• Write, revise, and mark up scenarios, arguments, and opinions grounded in criminal practice

• Check AI-produced legal writing for correctness, clear reasoning, and ethical soundness

• Give clear written and spoken feedback on where the AI’s answers fall short and how to fix them

Why this is worth your time

• Get paid $140–$400 an hour to build real AI skills, on top of your current job
