Overview
micro1 is building an AI evaluation project that simulates multi-turn commercial disputes, and they need Litigation Attorneys to produce realistic work product. You will draft motions, briefs, demand letters, and discovery documents based on detailed scenario prompts, then respond to simulated opposing counsel moves while keeping a consistent case theory. The project focuses on U.S. commercial litigation standards, and your domain knowledge is the key input. No prior AI experience is required. This is a remote contractor role open to US-based attorneys.

Who Should Apply
This role fits attorneys with at least three years of commercial contract litigation experience who can draft motions, briefs, and discovery documents with little supervision. You should be comfortable working from detailed prompts and adjusting your strategy as new simulated facts appear. Candidates who have only done general litigation or lack contract dispute focus often score lower on fit. Also, if you need step-by-step direction for every draft or have no experience with U.S. commercial litigation standards, this project will be a poor match.
