About the Role
The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for legal judgment they can't generate on their own. Your standards and expertise become the rubric that frontier AI is graded against. This is a standing listing for legal professionals who want AI training and evaluation work, not a specific job opening. It stays open whether or not a matching project is running this week. New projects start on short notice, so instead of posting and pulling a listing each time, we keep one open per field and draw from it when one begins.
What You'll Do
- We match legal professionals in the network to projects like:
- Writing a legal problem from a matter you worked on, with the facts, the forum, and the governing law, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
- Grading model-drafted legal work: whether the provision does what it claims, whether the privilege call is right, whether the citation supports the proposition it is offered for
- Flagging where a model states the law correctly and would still lose, given the forum, the standard of review, or facts that do not carry the argument
- Rates vary by role within this field. Listings across it have posted from $60 to $150 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.
- This pool spans the legal field, including:
- Legal practice; criminal justice and litigation
- Corporate law and M&A; intellectual property
You're a Good Fit If You
- Professional experience in legal practice, compliance, regulatory work, or policy
- Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning
- Comfort with ambiguous tasks, and willingness to flag unclear instructions
