Remote Bluebook Citation Specialist (Law)

Zekai; United States; À distance; USD 69 000 - 110 000; Temps partiel

Résumé du poste

Zekai is seeking a Bluebook Citation Specialist (Law Students & Recent JDs) for a remote, contractor role. You will work on legal citation projects, review Bluebook rules, and create sample cite-checking tasks to train editors.

Ideal candidates are current or recent law students or JD graduates with hands-on Bluebook experience and law journal editing. You will apply Bluebook standards consistently, flag ambiguous cases, and deliver high-quality work on schedule.

Qualifications

• Current or recent law student (2L/3L) or recent JD graduate.
• Hands-on Bluebook experience and familiarity with pincites.
• Law journal or law review editing experience.
• Ability to explain why a citation is wrong and the reasoning.
• Careful and consistent across long sessions of detailed review work.

Responsabilités

• 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.
