Moonlight MCQA - Chinese (Simplified) Law

$40–49/hrrate as listed

Write original ten-option multiple-choice questions on Chinese law, in Simplified Chinese, for use in an AI evaluation dataset. Each item ships with a worked solution that explains why the correct answer holds and why the distractors fail.

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

The work

You draft exam-style questions drawn from your own practice and study of Chinese law — civil code, criminal law and procedure, company and securities law, labour, administrative, IP, or whatever your subject area happens to be. Each item has ten answer options rather than the usual four, which is the point: distractors have to be individually plausible to a competent lawyer, not padding. You then write a worked solution that reasons to the correct answer and disposes of the near-misses, with citation to the governing statute, judicial interpretation, or guiding case where relevant.

The dataset is used to measure whether models actually reason through Chinese legal problems or pattern-match surface cues. That shapes the brief: questions that a strong model can answer from a single memorised rule statement are low value. Items that require applying a rule to facts, distinguishing two adjacent provisions, or noticing that a procedural step is out of order are what the work is for.

What the screen looks for

Verifiable legal credentials — a Chinese law degree or recognised equivalent, and ideally two or more years in practice, at a firm, in-house, in court, or in an academic post.
Native-level Simplified Chinese written fluency; all drafting and solutions are in Chinese.
Genuine subject depth under follow-up. Expect the interview to pick one area you name and push into it, including questions about recent amendments and how provisions interact.
Evaluation judgment: whether you can tell a hard question from a merely obscure one, and whether you can write a distractor that is wrong for a reason you can articulate.
Original work only. Reproducing bar exam or 法考 items, textbook problems, or anything lifted from a question bank disqualifies the submission.

Logistics

Fully remote and asynchronous, with hours you set yourself; contributors commonly work in blocks of several hours rather than fixed shifts. Observed pay for this listing is $39.69–48.51/hr, which reflects rates seen on the platform rather than a guaranteed figure, and is typically tied to accepted items passing review. Being educated in or based in China is part of the requirement profile. Work is contract-based and volume can vary with dataset demand.

Interview prep — 10 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 in PRC law and can articulate substantive legal reasoning, not just theoretical knowledge from a degree.
A strong answer: A concrete example naming specific statutes (e.g. Civil Code, Criminal Law, Administrative Procedure Law) and describing how you applied them to a client problem or case outcome—not a textbook summary.
Where people lose it: Describing a law school hypothetical or generic "corporate compliance" without naming a real matter, jurisdiction, or the actual legal pathway you followed.
