“Overview A model will draft a cite-check that looks airtight and still miss that the case was overruled, point to the wrong treatment, and quietly invent a pin cite. In litigation those errors do not stay small. Catching them before they reach a filing is exactly what a paralegal does.”

Overview A model will draft a cite-check that looks airtight and still miss that the case was overruled, point to the wrong treatment, and quietly invent a pin cite. In litigation those errors do not stay small. Catching them before they reach a filing is exactly what a paralegal does. As a Paralegal you'll evaluate AI on legal research, document review, and filings, verify the work against the actual record, and write the work product a careful litigation team would rely on.
What you’ll actually do Draft prompts that test legal research, cite-checking, document review, and filing preparation across practice areas. Review AI output for invented citations, overruled authority, wrong pin cites, and procedural misses, and rate the reasoning. Write the correct work product when the model falls short, accurate enough to file.

What does the Paralegal 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.
