About The Position

This is a short, high-intensity remote contract project for a paralegal or current law student with U.S. legal experience. The role focuses on applying current cite-checking and legal research skills under defined guidelines, with precise and consistent work expected. The successful candidate will explain why citations are incorrect, flag ambiguous cases to project coordinators, and deliver assigned work on schedule and at the required quality level.

Candidates need paralegal certification, an ABA-approved certificate, or current law school enrollment. The project is expected to start within 24–48 hours of onboarding, and candidates must be available to work over the next two weeks. The selection process includes an application and screening questions, an AI interview, profile review, and onboarding.

Requirements

• Paralegal certification from NALA, NFPA, or NALS; a certificate from an ABA-approved program; or current enrollment in law school.
• Current, active cite-checking and legal research practice.
• Strong working knowledge of The Bluebook, including pincites, short forms, signals, and parentheticals.
• Availability to work over the next two weeks, starting within 24–48 hours of onboarding.
• 3–5 years of hands-on paralegal experience is described as the sweet spot, but candidates with more or less experience may be considered if their citation work is current.

Nice To Haves

• Law review or law journal experience.
• Graduation from a highly ranked law school or paralegal program.

Responsibilities

• Apply Bluebook rules and verify citations precisely across a range of source types.
• Conduct legal research and confirm that sources support the propositions cited.
• Complete research and citation tasks under defined guidelines, applying them consistently.
• Explain why a citation is incorrect, not only that it is incorrect.
• Flag ambiguous cases to project coordinators rather than resolving them silently.
• Deliver assigned work on schedule and at the required quality level.
