About the Role
Opportunity Snapshot Pay: $50–80/hour You’ll need: Current or recent law school enrollment, hands-on Bluebook experience, and law journal or law review editing experience Your tasks: Review citation-checking rubrics and build sample cite-checking tasks Job Description micro1 is engaging law students and recent law graduates with law journal experience to support a legal citation project. If you’ve spent time cite-checking for a law review or journal, this is that skill applied to a new context. No prior AI experience is required — your Bluebook fluency and editorial judgment are what matter.
What You'll Do
- Review existing Bluebook and pincite grading rubrics, and flag rules that are unclear, incomplete, or would be applied inconsistently by different editors.
- Identify edge cases the rubrics don’t currently cover and recommend how they should be handled.
- Create sample cite-checking tasks: source material paired with citations containing realistic errors, along with the correct answer and an explanation of the rule involved.
- Build tasks across a range of citation types and difficulty levels, from straightforward formatting errors to subtle pincite and source-support problems.
- Apply Bluebook rules consistently across all submissions.
- Flag ambiguous cases to project coordinators instead of resolving them silently.
- Deliver assigned work on schedule and at the required quality level.
You're a Good Fit If You
- Required skills: Catching Citation Errors, Cite-Checking Experience, Handling Unclear Rules, Staying Consistent Through Repetitive Work, Bluebook & Cite-Checking, Law, Law Journal Editing, Attention to detail
- Current law student (2L, 3L) or recent JD graduate.
- Law review or law journal experience, ideally including a cite-checking or source-collection role.
- Strong working knowledge of The Bluebook, including pincites, short forms, signals, and parentheticals.
- Able to explain why a citation is wrong, not just that it is — the reasoning matters as much as the correction.
- Careful and consistent across long sessions of detailed review work.
- Comfortable working independently and meeting deadlines without close supervision.
- Experience as a journal editor, articles editor, or executive editor is a plus.
