The work

You draft questions from your own practice knowledge, not from copied bar exam banks or textbook exercises. Each item is a self-contained legal problem — a fact pattern, a statutory or procedural question, a doctrinal distinction — followed by ten answer options and a written solution that explains why the correct option holds and, where it matters, why the near-misses fail. The ten-option format is deliberate: it removes the guessing floor and forces distractors that are genuinely plausible to a trained lawyer. Most of the difficulty in this role sits in distractor construction, not in the question stem.

Subject coverage typically spans the areas a Swedish practitioner would recognise from their own docket: avtalsrätt, köprätt, skadeståndsrätt, associationsrätt, arbetsrätt, förvaltningsrätt, straffrätt and processrätt, with attention to correct citation of relevant kapitel and paragrafer in the applicable balk or lag. Questions must be answerable from Swedish law as it currently stands, with EU-law interaction flagged where it is dispositive.

What the screen looks for

  • A verifiable juristexamen or equivalent, and a credible account of where and how you have practised
  • Genuine depth under follow-up — reviewers probe a claimed specialism until the answers either hold up or thin out
  • Native-level written Swedish, plus enough English to work with reviewer feedback and specification documents
  • Calibration judgment: can you tell a hard question from a merely obscure one, and an ambiguous item from a rigorous one

Logistics and pay

Remote and asynchronous; there are no fixed hours and no meetings in the ordinary course. Contributors report observed rates in the $38.59–47.17/hr range on this project — a band, not a guarantee, and actual assignment depends on the screen outcome and on batch availability at the time you onboard. Volume on Mercor projects fluctuates; treat this as supplementary rather than steady income. Expect a paid or unpaid sample item early on, and expect revision requests on your first batch.
