Public Interest Law (Civil Law / Environmental Law)

• Build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in civil rights, environmental, and public advocacy contexts.
• Design public interest law scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior public interest attorneys think.
• Construct scenarios spanning civil rights litigation, environmental compliance and enforcement, and community advocacy or policy reform processes.
• Build tasks across civil rights and constitutional law, environmental law and regulation, housing and consumer protection, immigration and asylum, and government accountability.
• Develop scenarios involving tools such as legal research platforms, case management systems used by legal aid organizations and nonprofits, and regulatory filing systems (e.g., EPA dockets).
• Apply public interest law methodologies (constitutional analysis, regulatory compliance review, impact litigation strategy) to the standards track a world targets (US: federal civil rights statutes, NEPA, environmental statutes; International: human rights treaties, EU directives), and produce reference legal briefs, regulatory comments, and advocacy memoranda.
• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic public interest legal judgment from generic law school or bar exam-level recall.

• 5+ years working as a public interest attorney at a legal aid organization, advocacy nonprofit, or government agency (ACLU, Earthjustice, NRDC, Legal Aid Society, or a state attorney general's office).
• Direct ownership of impact litigation, regulatory advocacy, or policy reform initiatives.
• Fluency in public interest legal tooling, plus understanding of how regulatory processes and legislative advocacy actually work.

• A recognized professional credential is strongly preferred (JD with bar admission, or an international equivalent).
• Prior rubric, training, or policy authorship is a plus.
