Legal Citation Specialist, Part-Time AI Citation Evaluation - Remote (United States)

About the role

Work on the cutting edge of legal AI, on your own schedule, and get paid for the citation expertise you already have. The legal AI systems everyone is talking about are trained and tested by real legal specialists. The teams building them need people who can create realistic citation problems, judge whether the AI handles Bluebook rules correctly, write the answer a legal citation professional would give, and explain exactly where the AI falls short. Your judgment helps shape the next generation of legal AI models. This is that work, done remotely around your current studies or legal work.

Responsibilities

• Check grading guidance for Bluebook citations and pincites, and flag instructions that are unclear, incomplete or applied inconsistently
• Assess unusual citation cases and advise on the proper treatment
• Build cite-checking exercises from source material, then document the mistakes, corrected answers and explanations
• Use Bluebook rules to assess format, pincites and source support, and state the basis for marking each citation right or wrong

Benefits

• Get paid $50–$80 an hour to build real AI skills, on top of your current job
• Work directly with frontier legal 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 research and citation work, and the people who understand it from the inside will lead that change
• Fully remote and flexible, no fixed shifts, no commute

Requirements

• A current law student, especially in year two or three, or a JD graduate
• Strong, practical command of The Bluebook, including pincites, short forms, signals and parentheticals, with the ability to explain an incorrect citation
• Professional fluency in English
• No AI experience needed — you bring the expertise; we bring the training on the tools

Pay and details

$50–$80 per hour, paid hourly as an independent contractor. Fully flexible schedule; fully remote, United States.
