About the Legal Internship Opportunity
We are looking for legal research interns to inform the design and data behind our tools. Your input will shape our first product offerings. This role is well-suited to someone who enjoys high-agency work better than corporate offices and dress codes.

We are a small, but passionate team. Top-performing interns may be offered full-time roles (and stock options).
