Legal Expert
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 legal professionals 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 legal professionals in the network to projects like:
- Writing a legal problem from a matter you worked on, with the facts, the forum, and the governing law, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
- Grading model-drafted legal 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
