Moonlight MCQA - Arabic Law

$24–30/hrrate as listed

Draft original exam-style multiple-choice questions in Arabic on the law of your own jurisdiction, each with ten options and a worked solution. The output becomes an evaluation dataset used to measure how well AI models handle Arabic-language legal reasoning.

Summary, eligibility guidance and screening preparation are prepared by Sidequest from the platform's posting. Check the source listing before applying.

What the work involves

You write legal MCQs from scratch, in Arabic, grounded in the statutes, codes, and case law of the jurisdiction you actually practise in — Egyptian, Saudi, Emirati, Moroccan, Jordanian, Kuwaiti, and others are all in scope. Each item has ten answer options rather than the usual four or five, which is the point: the distractors have to be plausible enough that a strong model cannot eliminate them by surface pattern-matching. You then write a worked solution explaining why the key is correct and, typically, why the closest distractors fail, with citations to the governing provision.

The difficulty target is a competent practitioner, not a first-year student. Questions that turn on a widely known general principle tend to get rejected; questions that turn on a procedural deadline, an exception in a specific article, a conflict between a code provision and a ministerial regulation, or an application of Sharia-derived rules within a codified framework are what the dataset needs. Expect to be asked to avoid ambiguity — an item with two defensible answers is a defect, not a hard question.

What the platform screens for

Verified credentials: law degree or national equivalent, uploaded and checked; practice experience strongly preferred at 2+ years.
Genuine jurisdictional depth: interviews probe whether you can cite provisions and describe procedure from memory, and follow-ups get more specific if your first answer is generic.
Native-level legal Arabic: you need command of formal legal register, not conversational fluency, and consistent terminology within your jurisdiction's usage.
Item-writing judgment: whether you can tell a hard question from an ambiguous one, and whether your distractors are wrong for reasons you can articulate.
Originality: items must be your own drafting, not lifted from bar-exam banks or textbooks.

Logistics

Fully remote and asynchronous — you claim batches and submit on your own schedule, with no fixed hours or meetings. Observed pay is $24.26–29.65/hr, typically stated as an hourly rate against logged or estimated time per accepted item; rates and volume vary by project and are not guaranteed. Contributors commonly treat this as part-time work alongside practice, in the range of 5–15 hours a week, though batch availability fluctuates and gaps between projects are normal.

Native-level written Arabic in formal legal register

Interview prep — 11 questions

Matched to what this platform's screening actually measures. Answer each out loud in 60–90 seconds: claim → concrete example → implication.

What it tests: Whether you have genuine practising experience and understand the actual procedural landscape of your jurisdiction well enough to design realistic exam scenarios, not just theoretical knowledge.
A strong answer: A concrete case with specific procedural steps, applicable statutes or codes, and the legal reasoning that moved the matter forward—evidence you've navigated real constraints and precedent, not read about them.
Where people lose it: Describing law school coursework or textbook scenarios as if they were lived practice, or remaining vague about procedural timelines and jurisdiction-specific rules that would appear in your questions.
