Your tasks: Design realistic, multi-step legal and compliance tasks with objective criteria for grading the output
micro1 is engaging experienced legal and compliance practitioners to design the tasks that measure what AI systems can actually do. Your domain knowledge is what matters here - no prior AI experience required.
The work is to turn real legal workflows into benchmark tasks: realistic, difficult, and gradable against objective criteria. If you’ve built a review checklist, marked up a junior associate’s draft, or trained a team against a compliance standard, that’s the instinct this needs.
Scope of Work
- Design multi-step tasks drawn from real legal and compliance work - contract review, due diligence, regulatory assessment, risk analysis - with realistic reference files and clear instructions.
- Define objective grading criteria so two qualified reviewers would reach the same verdict on the same output.
- Build tasks that require judgment rather than lookup: ones where the right answer depends on reading the materials correctly.
- Create or source the supporting materials each task needs: agreements, policy documents, regulatory texts, diligence files.
- Flag tasks that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable instead of submitting them anyway.
- Deliver approved tasks on schedule and at the required quality level.
Preferred Qualifications
- 5+ years of hands-on responsibility in contract review, due diligence, regulatory compliance, or risk - direct ownership of the work, not supervisory-only or adjacent exposure.
- Experience creating or applying structured review standards: review checklists, diligence protocols, compliance frameworks, playbooks, or training assessments.
- Comfortable reasoning across multiple documents at once and spotting inconsistencies between them.
- Law degree and bar admission, or equivalent compliance qualification, is a plus but not required - practitioner experience is what matters.
- Strong English, written and spoken - B2 minimum, C1 preferred.
- AI or LLM evaluation experience is a plus, but not required.

Pay and terms
The listing states Up to $90 per hour equivalent, paid per approved task. That is micro1's listed rate for the project. It is not a promise of earnings, and the listing does not guarantee a number of hours. The same listing also says pay is output-based, paid per task that meets the project specifications, so what you earn per hour depends on how fast you complete accepted tasks.
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.
