What this actually is
You bring your specialist expertise to AI evaluation. The shape of the work varies but the pattern is the same: review outputs, rate quality, write prompts, flag errors. The platform title (Paralegal / Law Student - Legal Research) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.
How micro1 picks people
- Apply to the role, then do an interview with micro1's AI recruiter. It takes 20 to 40 minutes.
- Some roles add a short skills test after the interview.
- If you pass, micro1 asks you to finish your profile and verify your ID. You then join its certified pool and can apply to its other open roles.
Before you start
- Plan for 40 minutes in a quiet place.
- Have your CV and two or three examples of your own work in this field ready to talk about.
Not every applicant gets an offer. Prepare well for the interview.

Opportunity Snapshot
Pay: $50-120/hour
Location: Remote - open to paralegals with U.S. legal experience
You’ll need: Paralegal certification or an ABA-approved certificate, or current law school enrollment
Your tasks: Apply your cite-checking and legal research expertise to a short, high-intensity project
Role Title: Paralegal / Law Student -Legal Research
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
We’re looking for people whose cite-checking and research skills are current and sharp - the kind of work you do now, not something you last did years ago.
What you’ll do
• Apply Bluebook rules and verify citations with precision across a range of source types.
• Conduct legal research and confirm that sources support the propositions cited.
• Work through research and citation tasks under defined guidelines, applying them consistently.
• Explain your reasoning - why a citation is wrong, not just that it is.
• Flag ambiguous cases to project coordinators instead of resolving them silently.
• Deliver assigned work on schedule and at the required quality level.
What we’re looking for
• Paralegal certification (NALA, NFPA, or NALS), a certificate from an ABA-approved program, or current enrollment in law school.
• 3-5 years of hands-on paralegal experience is the sweet spot, though we’re open on either side if your citation work is current.
• Current, active cite-checking and legal research practice - this is more important to us than total years.
• Strong working knowledge of The Bluebook: pincites, short forms, signals, and parentheticals.
• Law review or law journal experience is a strong plus.
• Graduates of highly ranked law schools or paralegal programs are especially encouraged to apply.
• Available to work over the next two weeks, starting within 24-48 hours of onboarding.
How the selection process works
• Apply and complete the screening questions
• Complete the AI interview for this role - it’s how your expertise gets in front of the client
• Profile review
• Onboarding - our Talent Ops team will get you set up
