  • Create realistic simulation exercises for AI model training.
  • Collaborate with project managers and interdisciplinary teams to ensure deliverables are accurate and relevant.

Qualifications

  • Extensive experience as a criminal defense specialist at a BigLaw or major law firm.
  • Demonstrated litigation and trial advocacy experience in complex criminal matters.
  • Strong criminal law knowledge, legal writing, case analysis, reasoning, and ethical judgment.
  • Deep understanding of ethical standards and best practices in criminal defense.
  • Experience reviewing, preparing, or teaching case strategy and procedural safeguards.
  • Familiarity with technology-assisted legal research and digital case-management tools.
  • A record of contributing to professional development, legal education, or legal innovation initiatives is preferred.
