What you'll do: Harvest legal propositions and their citations from public court opinions (we'll show you exactly how) Label each item against our guidelines — is the citation valid, and if not, why Keep your work consistent across batches and hit accuracy benchmarks (we check against known-answer items) Flag anything ambiguous instead of guessing You're a strong fit if you are: A law student (2L/3L), recent JD grad, or experienced paralegal A careful reader with real attention to detail Able to follow detailed written instructions precisely and work independently Reliable and responsive Nice to have: familiarity with case law, Bluebook citation, legal research tools, or spreadsheets. How we hire: shortlisted candidates complete a short paid test task (~30 minutes) labeling a small real sample before we finalize. Details: Hourly or per-task, remote, flexible/asynchronous hours. Ongoing potential for the right person. Screening questions to add: What's your legal background — school and year, or paralegal experience? Tell me about a time you had to be extremely meticulous with detailed work. Are you comfortable working from detailed written guidelines and asking questions when unsure?
