What the work actually is

You are handed a commercial dispute — a contract fight, a shareholder or LLC deadlock, a commercial real estate matter — and you litigate it in writing, one turn at a time. A turn might be a motion to dismiss, a meet-and-confer letter, a set of interrogatories and responses, a summary judgment brief, or a demand letter. Simulated opposing counsel responds, facts shift, and you have to keep your case theory coherent across the arc rather than treating each document as a standalone writing sample. Senior attorneys review each turn and send feedback; the expectation is that you absorb it and move without needing the same correction twice.

Alongside each submission you write rubric items: an explicit statement of what separates a strong response to this prompt from a mediocre one — the controlling authority that had to be cited, the procedural posture that had to be respected, the argument a competent litigator would not have missed. That artifact is often as valuable to the project as the draft itself, and it is where a lot of otherwise capable drafters underperform. You are also expected to flag when a prompt is procedurally incoherent, when facts are missing that a real attorney would need before filing, or when the assignment assumes something untrue about the jurisdiction.

What the screen is looking for

micro1's screening is AI-led and pushes on specifics. It will ask you to name matter types you actually handled, describe motions you personally drafted rather than supervised, and explain choices — why a 12(b)(6) rather than a 12(c), why you pled a claim in the alternative, how you handled a discovery dispute that went sideways. Expect follow-ups that test whether the first answer was real. Bar admission (active or lapsed) plus a JD and roughly three or more years of post-JD litigation with hands-on drafting is the baseline; BigLaw, boutique, and mid-market firm backgrounds are all in scope. No AI experience is required or expected.

Logistics

  • Remote, US-based, fully asynchronous — you work when you want, against submission deadlines.
  • Compensation is per task that meets spec, not per hour; the observed band reflects what efficient drafters have realized, and slower workflows earn less per hour.
  • A weekly minimum number of submissions applies. This is not a role you can pick up once a month.
  • Hiring moves fast: roles typically fill within 48 hours and first tasks are expected within 24–48 hours of onboarding.
