What the work is, and what it isn’t

The tasks described in these listings are consistent across platforms:

• drafting realistic legal questions and scenarios in your practice area;
• reviewing AI-generated memos, contract clauses or case analysis for accuracy, and explaining what is wrong;
• writing reference answers and grading rubrics that AI output is measured against;
• annotating contracts, filings and other legal documents.

This is not document review for a law firm, and you do not advise clients. Most roles are independent contractor engagements paid by the hour, and the number of hours depends on the project.

Who can apply

• US-licensed attorneys. Most listings ask for a JD and an active US bar admission. Some also ask for experience at a large firm (BigLaw or AmLaw 100) or in a specific area such as immigration, tax, bankruptcy, securities, FDA regulation or family law.
• Lawyers outside the United States. A smaller number of roles are for other jurisdictions or languages, for example legal experts for Spain, Germany and mainland China, a general counsel role for the EU or UK, and talent pools open to J.D. or LL.B. holders. Eligible countries are shown on each listing.
• Law students and recent graduates. Cite-checking and Bluebook roles for students with law review or journal experience.
• Paralegals and legal operations staff. There are also occasional legal ops and paralegal roles.
