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 lawyers 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 the work looks like

We match lawyers in the network to projects like:

• Drafting a motion or a brief from a fact pattern, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against

• Grading model-drafted contract and discovery 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

Projects in this field have posted at $100 to $150 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.

What we're looking for

• A J.D., LL.B., or LL.M. and a current license to practice

• Professional experience in litigation, transactional work, or regulatory practice

• Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning

• Comfort with ambiguous tasks, and willingness to flag unclear instructions

Where people in this pool have worked

The most common backgrounds, though the pool is broader than this:

• Am Law firms and litigation or transactional boutiques

• Federal and state judicial clerkships

• In-house counsel and compliance at large companies

• Federal and state enforcement, regulatory, and prosecutorial offices

The firm name matters less than whether you did the drafting and the analysis yourself, recently enough to explain why you came out where you did.

How it works

Apply here with your resume and confirm where you work from, then take a short AI interview, about 20 minutes total.

We verify your license and background and add you to the legal pool.

When a project needs your area of practice, we invite matching people from the pool to that specific listing. It names the rate, the hours, and the client, and any hiring decision is made there.

What to expect

This listing does not accept or reject candidates, so you will not get a decision on it. We reach out when a project matches your background. Depending on what our clients are running, that can be within a week or several months.

Finishing the domain expert interview and joining every network you qualify for both improve your odds of being matched. You only need to sign up once to be eligible across all of them.
