Why Closeout
Closeout is building the system that finishes a personal injury case, the back half nobody else has fixed: liens, disbursement, and a defensible record. It's unglamorous, high-leverage work, and most firms still do it by hand.
We're small, early, and moving fast with real firms. You'll shape both the product and how we work as we grow, close to the founder and close to the people who actually use it.
The internship
Closeout's knowledge engine tells attorneys what the law actually lets them argue in each state, made-whole, common-fund, anti-subrogation, hospital-lien caps. Someone has to read the statutes and the leading cases and turn them into clean, citable rules. That's you.
This is real legal research that ships. What you write ends up in front of practicing attorneys, so getting the rule and the citation right matters.
What you'll do
- Research state-by-state lien, subrogation, and reduction law, from statutes to the cases that actually control.
- Distill each rule into a plain, defensible summary the engine can use, with citations.
- Flag where states disagree, where the law is unsettled, and where a firm has real leverage.
- See your research land in the product, not a memo that sits in a drawer.
Who it's for
Law students, pre-law, paralegal-certificate, or legal-studies folks who like digging through statutes and care about getting the citation right. No personal injury background required, curiosity and rigor matter more.
The details
Unpaid, part-time, remote, and flexible around class. We're upfront that it's unpaid; what you get is real legal-research reps, close mentorship, a writing sample that actually shipped, and first look when we open a paid legal or product seat. Happy to support required program hours.
