Law Review Cite-Checker

$50–80/hr

rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Legal

Review Bluebook and pincite grading rubrics, identify edge cases, and create realistic citation-checking exercises with explained corrections. This remote contractor role is intended for current law students or recent JD graduates with law review or law journal experience.

The work

You will review existing Bluebook and pincite grading rubrics for unclear, incomplete, or inconsistently applicable rules. You will also create sample cite-checking tasks that pair source material with realistically flawed citations, then provide the correct citation and explain the governing rule. Assignments may cover formatting, pincites, short forms, signals, parentheticals, and whether a cited source supports the stated proposition.

What the screening assesses

The AI-led interview is likely to ask for specific examples from your law review or law journal work and follow up on how you handled difficult citations. Expect to demonstrate practical Bluebook knowledge, distinguish clear errors from defensible editorial choices, and explain how you would improve a rubric without silently resolving ambiguity. Prior AI experience is not required.

Logistics

This is a remote contractor role. The work is designed to be completed independently and delivered on schedule, but the listing does not specify weekly hours or confirm that all work is asynchronous. Ambiguous cases should be escalated to project coordinators rather than decided without documentation.

Interview prep — 10 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: This tests whether your journal experience involved direct source collection, citation correction, or editorial review rather than only membership or general production work.
A strong answer: Give the journal, role, types of authorities handled, and your specific responsibilities, including how your work was reviewed. Quantify the scope where you can do so accurately.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by naming a journal title without distinguishing their own cite-checking duties from the work of the editorial team.

Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.
