Job Description

Our team is engaging law students and recent law graduates with law journal experience to support a legal citation project. If you’ve spent time cite-checking for a law review or journal, this is that skill applied to a new context. No prior AI experience is required — your Bluebook fluency and editorial judgment are what matter.

Scope of Work

• Review existing Bluebook and pincite grading rubrics, and flag rules that are unclear, incomplete, or would be applied inconsistently by different editors.
• Identify edge cases the rubrics don’t currently cover and recommend how they should be handled.
• Create sample cite-checking tasks: source material paired with citations containing realistic errors, along with the correct answer and an explanation of the rule involved.
• Build tasks across a range of citation types and difficulty levels, from straightforward formatting errors to subtle pincite and source‑support problems.
• Apply Bluebook rules consistently across all submissions.
• Flag ambiguous cases to project coordinators instead of resolving them silently.
• Deliver assigned work on schedule and at the required quality level.

Preferred Qualifications

• Current law student (2L, 3L) or recent JD graduate.
• Law review or law journal experience, ideally including a cite‑checking or source‑collection role.
• Strong working knowledge of The Bluebook, including pincites, short forms, signals, and parentheticals.
• Able to explain why a citation is wrong, not just that it is — the reasoning matters as much as the correction.
• Careful and consistent across long sessions of detailed review work.
• Comfortable working independently and meeting deadlines without close supervision.
• Experience as a journal editor, articles editor, or executive editor is a plus.
