Legal Expert (J.D./LL.B.)
LawRemotePart-timeAlways-open talent poolPosted Sep 15
Mercor keeps this listing open to build a pool of candidates. Applying puts you in the pool; it is not a single fresh opening.
Paid as a fixed feeThis opportunity lists pay as a fixed fee, rather than an hourly rate.
The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for legal judgment they can't generate on their own. Your standards and expertise become the rubric that frontier AI is graded against.
This is a standing listing for lawyers who want AI training and evaluation work, not a specific job opening. It stays open whether or not a matching project is running this week.
New projects start on short notice, so instead of posting and pulling a listing each time, we keep one open per field and draw from it when one begins.
What the work looks like
We match lawyers in the network to projects like:
- Drafting a motion or a brief from a fact pattern, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
- Grading model-drafted contract and discovery work: whether the provision does what it claims, whether the privilege call is right, whether the citation supports the proposition it is offered for
- Flagging where a model states the law correctly and would still lose, given the forum, the standard of review, or facts that do not carry the argument
