What you'll do

Write realistic legal task prompts across one or more benchmark domains, based on actual legal work products such as contract reviews, litigation strategy memos, regulatory compliance assessments, legal opinions, due diligence reviews, policy analyses, or statutory interpretation exercises.
Prepare detailed solution logic for each task — a step-by-step explanation of the legal reasoning process leading to a Golden Answer or defensible legal conclusion.
Author 10-25 binary pass/fail verifiers derived from your solution (e.g., V1: Correctly identifies Section 73 as the governing provision, V2: Concludes limitation period expired on 15 July 2023 ± 1 day).
Create or source the data files accompanying each task (minimum 3 files per prompt), including contracts, pleadings, statutes, regulations, correspondence, policies, board resolutions, research materials, or case-law extracts.
Embed a realistic legal trap and relevant noise into the task package (e.g., superseded regulation, conflicting precedent, irrelevant contractual clause, outdated circular, jurisdiction mismatch).
Submit a Sanity Check — one paragraph explaining how a standard AI model (GPT-4o / Claude) failed the task and why a single best-supported answer exists.

What we need

LL.B. / B.L. with 2–6 years of post-qualification legal experience.
Experience in at least one benchmark sub-domain through actual legal practice, advisory work, litigation, compliance, policy research, or corporate legal functions.
Strong working knowledge of Indian legal frameworks relevant to your domain, such as:
Corporate Law → Companies Act, 2013; Competition Act
Contract Review & Management → Indian Contract Act, 1872
Consumer Protection → Consumer Protection Act, 2019; Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023
Employment & Labor Law → Labor Codes
Environmental Law → Environmental (Protection) Act and related statutes
Intellectual Property → Patents Act, Trademarks Act, Copyright Act
Law firm, in-house counsel, compliance, policy, regulatory, or litigation background preferred. Tasks should reflect real professional legal work rather than academic examinations.
Comfortable working with PDFs, contracts, court filings, regulations, policy documents, spreadsheets, and multi-file evidence sets.
Strong legal writing and analytical skills. Verifier authoring requires precise, objective conclusions rather than broad legal discussion.
