Overview Models produce fluent legal analysis that is often subtly wrong: invented citations, misapplied precedent, and jurisdictional confusion. A plausible wrong answer in law has real consequences. As an Attorney you'll grade AI legal reasoning against the standard of a careful practitioner and write the analysis the model should have produced.
What you’ll actually do Draft prompts that test how models handle contracts, statutes, procedure, and case analysis. Review AI output for invented citations, misapplied precedent, and jurisdictional errors, and rate the reasoning. Write the correct analysis when the model falls short, with the clarity of a well-drafted memo.
Roles this fits Common backgrounds: Attorney, Associate Attorney, Legal Counsel.
What we look for JD or equivalent, with practice experience or strong academic background. Sharp legal research and writing skills across at least one practice area. Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.
Compensation Up to $125+/hr depending on task difficulty and specialization. Many contributors add $100k–$200k a year; some make it their full-time income.

What does the Attorney role at DataAnnotation pay?
DataAnnotation indicates Up to $125/hr for this role, but hedges the figure rather than committing to it. Treat it as an indication: HumanSourcer flags hedged pay instead of presenting it as a firm rate, and the listing's own wording is quoted in the Pay section above.

Is DataAnnotation a legitimate AI-training platform?
Reported worker-facing operating brand - and that relationship is rated "High - reported, not disclosed on portal" here because it can be checked against nymag.com rather than taken on DataAnnotation's word. Confidence describes how well the ownership is evidenced. It is not a rating of how the platform treats the people who work for it, which no public source covers reliably.
