Review AI-generated legal answers for accuracy, reasoning and completeness in the jurisdiction where you currently practise. This rolling talent pool covers remote, NDA-protected projects for qualified lawyers in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Australia or Japan.

The work

You will assess AI-generated answers to legal questions, check whether their conclusions and reasoning reflect the law in your jurisdiction, identify omissions or unsupported claims, and provide concise written feedback. Assignments vary by project and may use specific rubrics, quality standards and deadlines.

What Mercor screens for

The screening focuses on a current qualification and active legal practice in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Australia or Japan. You should be native or fluent in the working language of your jurisdiction and able to demonstrate precise legal analysis under follow-up questioning. In-house, corporate and M&A, transactional, litigation and disputes experience is particularly relevant, but practising lawyers from other areas are also invited to apply.

Practical details

This is a fully remote, ongoing talent pool rather than a confirmed project placement. Applications are reviewed continuously, and Mercor may contact candidates as suitable work becomes available. Commitments are flexible and typically start at about 10 hours, with the possibility of more work, but neither placement nor hours are guaranteed. All project work is covered by an NDA.

Pay band: $100–140/hr

Included with this listing

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 verifies that the candidate has a current right to practise in one of the covered jurisdictions rather than only a law degree or past legal experience.
A strong answer: State the jurisdiction, admitting or regulatory body, current status and a concise description of present legal practice. Include dates or registration details if requested and verifiable.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by describing legal education or a former admission without confirming that they are currently practising in the jurisdiction.
