Engagement: Project-based
Location: Worldwide
Field: Legal

Review realistic legal materials, verify research and citations, prepare documents, and explain decisions used to train AI systems. This remote contract role is for experienced paralegals with U.S. practice experience who can follow structured protocols and identify issues requiring attorney judgment.

The work

You will complete realistic paralegal tasks involving document review, legal research, citation verification, and document preparation. Day to day, that means comparing information across multiple documents, recording the reasoning behind decisions, applying detailed review protocols, and flagging ambiguity or issues that require attorney judgment. You may also review other contributors’ work for accuracy and consistency.

What the screening measures

micro1 screens for at least five years of hands-on paralegal experience in litigation, corporate, or regulatory practice, including direct work with document review, legal research, and citation verification. Expect follow-up questions about consequential filings, research attorneys relied on, large document reviews, protocol-based decisions, and your approach to escalation. Strong written and verbal English is required. Experience with legal data projects, e-discovery platforms, structured review protocols, or AI and LLM evaluation is helpful but not required.

Practical details

This is a remote contractor opportunity open worldwide to paralegals with U.S. practice experience. The expected commitment is approximately 10 or more hours per week, with flexibility to organize those hours around assigned schedules and quality requirements. Pay band: $40–80/hr

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 the five-year threshold and distinguishes hands-on responsibility in litigation, corporate, or regulatory matters from administrative exposure.
A strong answer: Give a concise chronology with years, practice settings, matter types, and personally owned tasks. Identify at least one responsibility where your work product was used by an attorney or submitted in a consequential matter.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by naming firms and broad practice areas without clarifying what they personally reviewed, researched, prepared, or filed.
