Litigation Attorney Expert - Remote Contract
Listing checked September 22, 2026 · pay as published by AfterQuery
Overview
AfterQuery contracts litigators to create the litigation scenarios and reference answers that frontier AI labs use to evaluate model judgment. You write a realistic case from complaint to dispositive motion, then document the procedural strategy and reasoning behind each decision. Your work also involves grading model output on motions, discovery tactics and case assessments, plus flagging arguments that sound persuasive but collapse under procedure or precedent. The engagement runs remote and async at 10 hours per week, with weekly pay through Stripe.
What You'll Do5
- 1Draft realistic litigation scenarios that span the life of a case, from the initial complaint through dispositive motions.
- 2Produce reference answers that lay out the procedural and strategic reasoning behind each legal judgment.
- 3Review and grade model output on motions, discovery strategy and overall case assessments.
- 4Identify arguments that read as persuasive but would fail on procedure or precedent, and explain why.
- 5Document legal reasoning in clear written English so the model can learn from the explanation.
Requirements5
- 1JD degree and active bar admission in a US jurisdiction.
- 2Two or more years of litigation practice at a law firm, government office or in-house legal department.
- 3Hands-on experience with motion practice, discovery and procedural strategy.
- 4Clear written English for documenting legal reasoning.
- 5Availability for at least 10 hours per week.
Who Should Apply
Ideal candidates hold an active bar license in a US jurisdiction and bring at least two years of litigation practice, with direct work on motions, discovery and procedural strategy. Trial experience as first or second chair, federal court exposure, or a clerkship or appellate background sets an applicant apart. Attorneys without active bar admission, those with fewer than two years in litigation, or anyone whose practice centers on transactions rather than disputes will find the fit weak. Candidates get rejected when they cannot name specific motions or discovery disputes they handled, or when they describe legal reasoning without tying it to procedure or precedent. The role also demands a firm commitment of 10 hours each week, so applicants who cannot protect that time score low on fit.
