Litigation Expert | $90–100/hr | Worldwide Remote Mercor is seeking experienced senior litigation professionals to design and build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in civil litigation and dispute resolution contexts. This is a high-impact contract role ideal for seasoned litigators who want to shape how AI understands complex legal practice. About the Role Contributors will work across two tracks: a US track (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Federal Rules of Evidence, and state court analogs) and an International track (English Civil Procedure Rules, ICC/LCIA arbitration rules).
Experts qualified in either or both tracks are encouraged to apply. Key Responsibilities Design litigation scenarios spanning pre-trial discovery, motion practice, trial strategy, and settlement or arbitration processes. Build tasks across commercial litigation, class action litigation, discovery and evidence management, trial advocacy, and appellate practice. Develop scenarios involving e-discovery platforms (Relativity, Everlaw), litigation management software, and deposition/trial preparation tools.
Apply litigation methodologies — including case strategy development, discovery analysis, and motion drafting — aligned to the relevant procedural track (FRCP, Federal Rules of Evidence, CPR, or international arbitration rules). Produce reference pleadings, discovery responses, motions, and trial memoranda as benchmark outputs. Author rubrics that distinguish authentic senior litigation judgment from generic legal recall.
Ideal Qualifications 5+ years of experience as a litigator or trial attorney at a major litigation firm (e.g., Quinn Emanuel, Gibson Dunn, Kirkland & Ellis, Boies Schiller Flexner) or in a corporate litigation department. Direct ownership of complex commercial litigation matters, with trial or arbitration experience. Strong fluency in litigation tooling, court procedure, discovery, and evidentiary rules.
JD with active bar admission strongly preferred; international equivalents (Barrister, Solicitor with advocacy rights) welcome. Prior experience in rubric writing or AI training content authorship is a plus.
