rate as listed

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

Review, annotate, and quality-check legal documents and case data used to train AI systems. The work draws on paralegal experience in research, pleadings, case files, and eDiscovery, with no prior AI experience required.

The work

This contractor role focuses on turning legal materials into accurate, structured training data. Day to day, you may research legal issues, review and summarize case files, annotate pleadings and filings, categorize information from large document collections, and verify entries for accuracy and completeness. You may also use eDiscovery platforms, including Relativity, to locate and extract relevant material.

What the platform screens for

Expect the screening to focus on specific paralegal work you have performed, particularly within a US-based law firm or legal service provider. Strong responses will demonstrate a defensible legal research process, familiarity with document review and drafting, sound judgment when instructions or source materials are ambiguous, and practical experience managing sensitive or high-volume legal data. Prior AI or data annotation experience is a plus, but not required.

Logistics

This is a remote contractor engagement with coordination around deliverable standards and project milestones. The listing does not disclose typical weekly hours or confirm that the work is fully asynchronous, so candidates should be ready to state their actual availability and ability to respond to remote project coordination. Pay band: $50–70/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 tests whether your claimed background is grounded in identifiable legal work rather than a broad summary of administrative duties.
A strong answer: Give a concise chronology with the type of firm or provider, representative matter types, and your direct responsibilities in research, document review, case management, pleadings, or discovery. Distinguish work you completed independently from work performed under attorney direction.
Where people lose it: Candidates lose points by saying they supported litigation generally without naming the documents, workflows, or stages of a matter they actually handled.

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