Job summary

Mercor is seeking senior litigation professionals to design evaluation tasks for AI systems used in civil litigation and dispute resolution. The role spans US Federal rules and international procedures, including arbitration rules, with experts encouraged to apply across both tracks.

Contributors draft reference outputs, build litigation scenarios, and author rubrics that distinguish authentic litigation judgment from exam-style recall. Strong experience with litigation tooling is preferred.

Qualifications

• 5+ years working as a litigator or trial attorney at a major litigation firm or corporate litigation department.
• Direct ownership of complex commercial litigation matters, with trial or arbitration experience.
• Fluency in litigation tooling and understanding of how court procedure, discovery, and evidentiary rules actually work.

Responsibilities

• Construct litigation scenarios spanning pre-trial discovery, motion practice, trial strategy, and settlement or arbitration processes.
• Build tasks across commercial litigation, complex and class action litigation, discovery and evidence management, trial advocacy, and appellate practice.
• Develop scenarios involving tools such as e-discovery platforms (Relativity, Everlaw), litigation management software, and deposition/trial preparation tools used on major matters.
• Apply litigation methodologies (case strategy development, discovery and evidence analysis, motion drafting) to the standards track a world targets (US: FRCP, Federal Rules of Evidence, state court rules; International: CPR, international arbitration rules), and produce reference pleadings, discovery responses, motions, and trial memoranda.
• Author rubrics that distinguish authentic litigation judgment from generic law school or bar exam-level recall.
