- Compare pairs of responses to in-house legal tasks (contract review, policy and compliance questions, risk assessments and business-facing legal advice) and decide which is stronger, with clear reasoning
- Write concise justifications grounded in the source documents and applicable US law
- Create realistic legal prompts, fact patterns and model answers drawn from your in-house experience
- Flag errors, gaps and risky advice in AI-generated legal content
- Attend onboarding and calibration sessions
You're a Good Fit If You
- Are admitted to practice in at least one US state (active bar membership)
- Have 3+ years of legal practice, including in-house experience advising a business on contracts, compliance, employment, risk or disputes
- Hold a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school
- Write clearly and pay close attention to detail

- 2+ years of experience at an AmLaw 100 firm (strongly preferred)
- Prior work on legal AI projects with Mercor

Is Mercor Experts a legitimate AI-training platform?
Direct expert network - and that relationship is rated "Confirmed" here because it can be checked against www.mercor.com rather than taken on Mercor Experts's word. Confidence describes how well the ownership is evidenced. It is not a rating of how the platform treats the people who work for it, which no public source covers reliably.
