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

• Apply Bluebook rules and verify citations with precision across a range of source types.

• Conduct legal research and confirm that sources support the propositions cited.

• Work through research and citation tasks under defined guidelines, applying them consistently.

• Explain your reasoning — why a citation is wrong, not just that it is.

• Flag ambiguous cases to project coordinators instead of resolving them silently.

• Deliver assigned work on schedule and at the required quality level.

What we’re looking for

• Paralegal certification (NALA, NFPA, or NALS), a certificate from an ABA-approved program, or current enrollment in law school.

• 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.

• Current, active cite-checking and legal research practice — this is more important to us than total years.

• Strong working knowledge of The Bluebook: pincites, short forms, signals, and parentheticals.

• Law review or law journal experience is a strong plus.

• Graduates of highly ranked law schools or paralegal programs are especially encouraged to apply.

• Available to work over the next two weeks, starting within 24–48 hours of onboarding.
