Disclosure: Skillora is independent of Mercor. The apply button carries our referral code, and if you are placed, Mercor pays Skillora a fee. It does not change what you are paid, our ranking does not know which listings pay us, and selection is decided by Mercor’s own vetting.
About this role
Mercor is partnering with a leading legal AI company to benchmark how well AI systems answer real questions of Australian law. We are hiring experienced litigation & disputes lawyers to serve as expert reviewers — running the same prompts through two AI platforms, comparing the answers, and scoring them against a standardized rubric.
What you'll do
- Run the same set of prompts across two AI (LLM) platforms
- Compare the outputs from both platforms side by side
- Score each response against a standardized rubric we provide
- Submit concise written feedback for every evaluation
Requirements
- Primarily law-firm / chambers experience — at least 2 years (3+ preferred) at a law firm or barristers' chambers in litigation, disputes, or contentious practice. If you are currently in-house, that is fine only if you moved in-house within the last 2 years and your prior experience was at a firm/chambers.
- Qualified to practise in Australia, with a strong command of Australian litigation and procedural law
- Native or fluent English, with precise written communication
- Able to work independently to a rubric and to deadlines
Logistics
- Initial commitment: ~10 hours, with strong potential for more
- Confidentiality: all work is covered by NDA
