• Part-time
• Fully flexible schedule
Work on the cutting edge of legal AI, on your own schedule, and get paid for the citation expertise you already have.
The AI systems everyone is talking about are trained and tested by real legal professionals. The teams building them need legal citation specialists who can create realistic cite-checking tasks, judge whether the AI applies citation rules correctly, write the corrected citation a legal professional would give, and explain exactly where the AI falls short. Your judgment helps shape the next generation of AI models for legal work. This is that work, done remotely around your current studies or career.
What you'll do
• Check the grading guidance for Bluebook citations and pincites, and flag unclear or incomplete instructions
• Identify citation edge cases and recommend how unusual cases should be handled
• Create cite-checking tasks using legal sources, flawed citations and corrections
• Make citation corrections using the same Bluebook standards, and spell out why each change is needed
Why this is worth your time
• Get paid $50–$80 an hour to build real AI skills, on top of your current job
• Work directly with frontier AI tools and see how they are built, tested and improved, experience most legal citation specialists will not have for years
• Build a career edge for what comes next: AI is reshaping legal work, and the people who understand it from the inside will lead that change
• Fully remote, fully flexible, no minimum shift, no commute
Who this is for
• Currently enrolled in law school or hold a JD
• Cite-checking or source-collection experience on a law review or law journal
• English proficiency and strong command of The Bluebook's pincites, short forms, signals and parentheticals
• No AI experience needed. You bring the expertise; your judgment helps improve AI models.
Pay and details
• $50–$80 per hour, paid hourly as an independent contractor
• Fully flexible schedule; fully remote, United States
