About the role
Mercor is hiring experienced Litigation Associates on behalf of a leading AI lab building a benchmark to evaluate advanced AI systems on realistic legal research tasks. You will help expand a dataset of high-quality legal research questions that mirror the types of research problems practitioners encounter in active client matters. This is not a bar-exam-style drafting project. We are seeking realistic, practitioner-driven legal questions grounded in identifiable authority and controlling precedent.
Key Responsibilities
-
Draft well-scoped, realistic legal research questions arising in litigation contexts
-
Mirror real client-driven issues (motions practice, procedural disputes, evidentiary issues, appellate standards, etc.)
-
Ensure questions require:
-
Identification and synthesis of controlling authority
-
Jurisdictional analysis
-
Application of precedent to fact patterns
-
Avoid abstract academic hypotheticals
-
Clearly frame questions so they are answerable through professional legal research
Requirements
- 4–7+ years at a reputable law firm (litigation practice)
- Strong experience conducting substantive legal research
- Experience drafting research memoranda, briefs, or dispositive motions
- Familiarity with jurisdiction-specific precedent analysis
- Clear, structured writing style
Nice to Have
- Federal clerkship experience
- Appellate or complex litigation background
- Prior experience contributing to AI, legal tech, or dataset development projects
Why Join
- Contribute to shaping how next-generation AI systems are evaluated in legal reasoning
- Work closely with a leading AI research organisation
