• Develop realistic motion-writing assignments based on federal civil litigation scenarios.
• Create evaluation criteria to assess the quality and effectiveness of AI-generated legal arguments.
• Apply practical litigation experience to identify what makes legal writing persuasive, well-structured, and effective in court.

• Practicing attorney with substantial hands-on experience in federal civil litigation and motion drafting.
• A proven track record of winning at least three court motions, with the ability to provide supporting court filings during the screening process.
• Strong experience drafting substantive motions, including motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, or similar federal court filings.
• Excellent legal research, analytical, and persuasive writing skills.
• Ability to critically evaluate legal arguments and clearly explain what makes one approach more effective than another.
