Legal Expert - AI Trainer

Mercor is partnering with a leading AI lab to build gold-standard legal reasoning data from a real deposition record. We're hiring one experienced civil litigator to work through a full rough deposition transcript and author the reference answers that AI models will be measured against.

• Read a rough deposition transcript of roughly 250 pages in full
• Write gold answers to about 100 questions about the record, citing support by page and line
• Complete eight short litigation tasks drawn from the same transcript
• Prepare all gold answers without AI assistance, and note anywhere an AI tool was used only for navigating the transcript
• Own every answer end to end: one litigator is responsible for the full set, so judgment stays consistent across all questions and tasks

• Are a practicing civil litigator who has personally taken and defended depositions (50+ depositions preferred)
• Practice in commercial, contract or personal injury litigation
• Are comfortable working from a long rough transcript and citing it precisely by page and line
• Hold a J.D. and are licensed to practice law in the U.S. (Minnesota admission is not required; the questions turn on the record, not on state procedure)

• Fully remote; must be based in the United States
• Role starts immediately, and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis
