What the work involves

You draft original multiple-choice questions drawn from your own practice and study of Vietnamese law — civil, criminal, commercial, labour, administrative, land, or whichever areas you can defend under scrutiny. Each item needs a clear stem, ten answer options, one defensible correct answer, and a worked solution that explains the reasoning and cites the governing provision (a specific article of the Civil Code, a decree, a circular, or a guiding resolution of the Supreme People's Court). Distractors are the hard part: they must be plausible to someone who half-knows the law and wrong for a reason you can articulate. Items that a competent model can answer from surface pattern-matching get rejected; items where the "correct" answer is contested in Vietnamese practice also get rejected unless the ambiguity is handled explicitly.

What the platform screens for

Mercor's screening is AI-led and follows up on specifics. Expect to name your degree, institution, and bar or practising status, then to be pushed into substance — what provision governs a scenario, how a 2015 code differs from what it replaced, where practice diverges from text. Native-level Vietnamese is non-negotiable because items are authored in Vietnamese and legal terminology has to be exact. Reviewers also look for calibration: whether you can say plainly that a question is too easy, that a provision was amended, or that you are outside your area.

Logistics

  • Fully remote and asynchronous; no fixed hours or meetings
  • Paid hourly within an observed band of $12.92–15.80/hr — rates are set by the platform and are not guaranteed
  • Throughput expectations are usually stated per batch rather than per week; volume can be uneven
  • Written and rewritten work goes through reviewer feedback, so budget time for revisions on early batches
