Litigation Attorney

$80–170/hr

rate as listed

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

Review complex civil or commercial litigation scenarios, research governing law, and produce or evaluate strategies, pleadings, motions, briefs, and case-management recommendations. This remote contractor role supports AI training through task-based legal analysis, with no prior AI experience required.

The work

You will analyze hypothetical or real-life disputes, identify applicable statutes, regulations, and case law, and develop litigation and procedural strategies grounded in the facts. Assignments may include drafting or reviewing pleadings, motions, and briefs; assessing evidence, contracts, and discovery materials; and explaining litigation principles for use in AI training.

What the platform screens for

The screening is likely to test whether you can describe specific civil or commercial litigation work and defend your reasoning under follow-up. Expect questions about case strategy, discovery, motion practice, legal research, writing, evidence assessment, and the standards you use to judge whether a legal response is accurate, relevant, and procedurally sound. A J.D., an active license in at least one U.S. jurisdiction, and extensive litigation experience are preferred rather than stated as mandatory.

Logistics

This is a remote contractor engagement. Work is output-based and paid only for tasks that meet project specifications, so the time required may vary by assignment and workflow. The listing requires minimum weekly submissions but does not state the number or typical weekly hours; the task format appears primarily asynchronous, with collaboration among legal experts when needed. Selected experts are expected to begin their first tasks within 24–48 hours after onboarding.

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 experience is anchored in identifiable case types, procedural stages, jurisdictions, and work you personally performed.
A strong answer: Give a concise chronology with representative disputes, forums, case stages, and concrete ownership such as drafting a dispositive motion, directing discovery, or developing settlement strategy. Distinguish your own decisions and deliverables from the broader team's work.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by listing practice areas without explaining their role, the procedural posture, or what they actually produced.
