Pay and terms
The listing does not state a rate for this role. It describes pay this way: paid per completed task; about 3.5 hours average handling time per task, effective hourly rate varies. micro1's expert guide describes pay in bands by type of work rather than per role, so treat any figure you see elsewhere as unconfirmed until it appears in your contract.
micro1 engages experts as contractors. Its help library says payments are made in USD twice a month and that contracts and payroll run through Deel. Payments cannot be processed until identity verification there is complete. Read our micro1 review for what workers say about project availability and support.
Before you apply
Legal listings usually ask for a J.D., an active bar license or a set number of years in practice. Have your admission details and graduation year ready before the interview.
Applying starts with an AI interview, then certification, then matching to projects by recruiters. micro1 says certification does not guarantee a project, so treat this as flexible work and not as a job offer. The how to become an AI trainer guide walks through each step.
