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 multiple-choice questions drawn from your own practice and training in Finnish law — contract and obligations law, tort, administrative and public law, criminal law and procedure, employment, family, property, EU law as applied in Finland, or whichever areas you can defend under scrutiny. Each item carries ten answer options rather than the usual four, which is the hard part: nine plausible-but-wrong options require you to think about the specific ways a competent lawyer or a capable model goes wrong. Alongside each question you write a worked solution that cites the governing statute, KKO or KHO case law, or travaux préparatoires where relevant, and explains the reasoning path — not just the conclusion.

The purpose is measurement. These items are used to test whether AI systems actually reason about Finnish law or are pattern-matching translated Swedish and English material. Questions that can be answered from a generic civil-law prior are of limited value; questions that turn on a Finnish-specific rule, a domestic procedural quirk, or the actual text of a Finnish statute are what the dataset needs.

What the screen looks for

Verifiable credentials — an OTM/OTK or equivalent Finnish law degree, or a foreign degree plus demonstrable Finnish legal training or practice. Practising experience of two or more years is preferred.
Genuine Finnish-language legal fluency — you should be comfortable working in Finnish legal terminology, not translating from English.
Depth under follow-up — expect the screening conversation to pick one area you claim and push into it, asking for specific provisions, case names, or how a rule is actually applied.
Distractor craft — evidence that you can construct wrong answers that are wrong for interesting reasons, and that you can articulate why a question has exactly one defensible answer.
Originality discipline — items must be your own drafting, not lifted from bar prep banks or published exams.

Logistics

Fully remote and asynchronous. There are no set hours; contributors typically commit somewhere between five and twenty hours a week and self-schedule around practice or academic obligations. Output is usually measured in accepted items, with quality review that can send work back for revision, so the effective rate depends on how clean your first drafts are. Pay figures above reflect bands observed on this platform for comparable legal work and are not a guarantee of any individual offer.

Native-level written and legal Finnish
2+ years practising or academic experience in Finnish law

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 working knowledge of Finnish law doctrine and procedure, not just theoretical study. Mercor needs writers who can author credible exam questions from real practice patterns.
A strong answer: Describe a specific scenario (contract dispute, employment issue, regulatory compliance, etc.) where you identified the relevant statute or case law, reasoned through its application, and reached a conclusion. Name the statute or principle by its Finnish designation or explain its substantive effect.
Where people lose it: Speaking in generalities about Finnish law without a concrete example, or describing a matter so basic it wouldn't support exam-level questions—questions at this pay are testing depth, not intro coverage.
