Your tasks: Apply your cite-checking and legal research expertise to a short, high-intensity project

Role Title: Paralegal / Law Student —Legal Research

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

We’re looking for people whose cite-checking and research skills are current and sharp — the kind of work you do now, not something you last did years ago.

What you’ll do

1. Apply Bluebook rules and verify citations with precision across a range of source types.
2. Conduct legal research and confirm that sources support the propositions cited.
3. Work through research and citation tasks under defined guidelines, applying them consistently.
4. Explain your reasoning — why a citation is wrong, not just that it is.
5. Flag ambiguous cases to project coordinators instead of resolving them silently.
6. Deliver assigned work on schedule and at the required quality level.

What we’re looking for

1. Paralegal certification (NALA, NFPA, or NALS), a certificate from an ABA-approved program, or current enrollment in law school.
2. 3–5 years of hands-on paralegal experience is the sweet spot, though we’re open on either side if your citation work is current.
3. Current, active cite-checking and legal research practice — this is more important to us than total years.
4. Strong working knowledge of The Bluebook: pincites, short forms, signals, and parentheticals.
5. Law review or law journal experience is a strong plus.
6. Graduates of highly ranked law schools or paralegal programs are especially encouraged to apply.
7. Available to work over the next two weeks, starting within 24–48 hours of onboarding.
