$100 – $150/hour · as listed
Mercor connects licensed attorneys with AI training and evaluation opportunities on a flexible, remote basis. As a Legal Expert with a J.D. or LL.B., you'd contribute specialized legal judgment to help leading AI research teams refine their models. Your work involves writing assessments, applying legal reasoning to complex scenarios, and setting standards that shape how frontier AI systems are trained and evaluated. This isn't traditional legal practice—it's AI data work where your expertise becomes the benchmark.
The role suits lawyers seeking part-time, flexible engagement without the constraints of a traditional firm. Available at the advanced level, positions are remote and typically scale to around 40 hours per week. Compensation is listed at $100–$150 per hour. Mercor maintains this as an open standing listing, so new AI training projects flow regularly rather than requiring you to reapply each time an opportunity emerges.
