rate as listed

Workload: ~15h/week
Engagement: Project-based
Location: Location not stated
Field: Legal

Review litigation-focused AI outputs, perform simulated legal tasks, and build grading criteria for legal analysis. This remote, part-time contractor role is for actively practicing U.S.-licensed attorneys, with a strong preference for seasoned litigators.

The work

You will complete simulated litigation tasks involving issue spotting, legal research, argument construction, motion practice, and case strategy. You will also review AI-generated responses for legal accuracy, procedural soundness, use of authority, and analytical precision, then provide actionable feedback to product and research teams.

What the platform screens for

The screening is likely to test whether you can explain specific matters you have handled, defend your legal reasoning under follow-up, and distinguish a plausible answer from a legally supportable one. Strong candidates can create objective grading criteria, identify material errors or omissions, and translate practitioner judgment into instructions that non-lawyer collaborators can apply consistently.

Background sought

Candidates must hold a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school, have active bar admission in at least one U.S. jurisdiction, and be actively practicing in litigation, corporate, real estate, bankruptcy, or compliance. Seasoned litigation experience is strongly preferred, while judicial clerkship, legal instruction, law journal or law review editorial work, and prior exposure to AI, legal tech, or training initiatives are preferred rather than required.

Logistics

This is a remote, part-time contractor role. The listing does not specify typical weekly hours, schedule, time-zone requirements, or whether all work is asynchronous, so candidates should be ready to state their actual availability and clarify scheduling expectations during screening.

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 claimed litigation experience is current, specific, and grounded in decisions you personally made rather than general team activity.
A strong answer: Describe the forum, procedural posture, legal issue, your personal responsibility, and the strategic choice you made without disclosing privileged information. Explain the result or how you measured whether the strategy worked.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by summarizing an entire case while never separating their own analysis and drafting from work performed by partners, associates, or co-counsel.

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