Legal Expert — Civil Litigator (Deposition Transcript Review)

**Pay:** $120 per hour (USD). **About the Role** Mercor is partnering with a leading AI lab to build gold-standard legal reasoning data from a real deposition record. We're hiring one experienced civil litigator to work through a full rough deposition transcript and author the reference answers that AI models will be measured against. **What You'll Do** - Read a rough deposition transcript of roughly 250 pages in full - Write gold answers to about 100 questions about the record, citing support by page and line - Complete eight short litigation tasks drawn from the same transcript - Prepare all gold answers without AI assistance, and note anywhere an AI tool was used only for navigating the transcript - Own every answer end to end: one litigator is responsible for the full set, so judgment stays consistent across all questions and tasks **You're a Good Fit If You** - Are a practicing civil litigator who has personally taken and defended depositions (50+ depositions preferred) - Practice in commercial, contract or personal injury litigation - Are comfortable working from a long rough transcript and citing it precisely by page and line - Hold a J.D. and are licensed to practice law in the U.S. (Minnesota admission is not required; the questions turn on the record, not on state procedure) **Role Highlights** - Fully remote; must be based in the United States - Role starts immediately, and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis
