What the work actually is

Each engagement starts with you inventing a dispute: parties, facts, procedural posture, jurisdiction, and the initiating pleading. From there the simulation runs multi-turn — junior legal contributors and peer attorneys produce motions, discovery strategy, demand letters, and responsive briefs, and you sit above the exchange as the senior reviewer. You approve, reject, or send work back with reasoning that has to be legible both to the contributor and to an annotation pipeline. A large share of the value you add is rubric work: writing down, stage by stage, what separates a competent Rule 12(b)(6) motion from a hollow one, and what a model should be penalized for. You are also expected to surface the hard cases — procedural traps, jurisdictional wrinkles, discovery disputes with no clean answer — because those are what stress an AI system.

What the screen looks for

micro1's screening is AI-led and conversational, and it pushes on specifics. Expect to be asked which jurisdictions you've actually litigated in, how many cases you took through dispositive motion practice, and what your role was on a case team. Domain probes go deep on one of the three named areas — commercial contract disputes, shareholder/LLC disputes, or commercial real estate litigation — and follow-ups will test whether your answers survive a second question. The other half of the screen is evaluation judgment: can you articulate a standard rather than a preference, can you review without rewriting, and can you disagree with a peer reviewer in writing that a third party could adjudicate. No AI or machine-learning background is expected or credited.

Logistics

  • Fully remote, contractor, asynchronous — no fixed hours, but weekly minimum task submissions apply.
  • Output-based pay per accepted task; the hourly band is what contributors have observed, not a guaranteed rate, and effective rate depends on how fast you work and whether submissions pass spec.
  • Roles are typically filled within 48 hours, with first tasks expected 24–48 hours after onboarding.
  • Active or lapsed bar admission both qualify. You must work only from public or synthetic materials — no client-confidential facts, documents, or work product.
  • Expect periodic calibration with team leads and other attorney reviewers as scenario specs change mid-project.
