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.
