Role Title: Law Review Cite-Checker
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote
Opportunity Snapshot
Pay: $50–80/hour
You’ll need: Current or recent law school enrollment, hands-on Bluebook experience, and law journal or law review editing experience
Your tasks: Review citation-checking rubrics and build sample cite-checking tasks
Job Description
micro1 is engaging law students and recent law graduates with law journal experience to support a legal citation project. If you’ve spent time cite-checking for a law review or journal, this is that skill applied to a new context. No prior AI experience is required — your Bluebook fluency and editorial judgment are what matter.
Scope of Work
Review existing Bluebook and pincite grading rubrics, and flag rules that are unclear, incomplete, or would be applied inconsistently by different editors.
Identify edge cases the rubrics don’t currently cover and recommend how they should be handled.
Create sample cite-checking tasks: source material paired with citations containing realistic errors, along with the correct answer and an explanation of the rule involved.
Build tasks across a range of citation types and difficulty levels, from straightforward formatting errors to subtle pincite and source-support problems.
Apply Bluebook rules consistently across all submissions.
Flag ambiguous cases to project coordinators instead of resolving them silently.
Deliver assigned work on schedule and at the required quality level.
Preferred Qualifications
Current law student (2L, 3L) or recent JD graduate.
Law review or law journal experience, ideally including a cite-checking or source-collection role.
Strong working knowledge of The Bluebook, including pincites, short forms, signals, and parentheticals.
Able to explain why a citation is wrong, not just that it is — the reasoning matters as much as the correction.
Careful and consistent across long sessions of detailed review work.
Comfortable working independently and meeting deadlines without close supervision.
Experience as a journal editor, articles editor, or executive editor is a plus.
