Bluebook Citation Specialist (Law Students & Recent JDs)
up to $80/hr
About this role, in micro1's words
micro1 is engaging law students and recent law graduates with law journal experience to support a legal citation project. If you’ve spent time cite-checking for a law review or journal, this is that skill applied to a new context. No prior AI experience is required — your Bluebook fluency and editorial judgment are what matter.
What you'll do
Scope of Work
- Review existing Bluebook and pincite grading rubrics, and flag rules that are unclear, incomplete, or would be applied inconsistently by different editors.
- Identify edge cases the rubrics don’t currently cover and recommend how they should be handled.
- Create sample cite-checking tasks: source material paired with citations containing realistic errors, along with the correct answer and an explanation of the rule involved.
- Build tasks across a range of citation types and difficulty levels, from straightforward formatting errors to subtle pincite and source-support problems.
- Apply Bluebook rules consistently across all submissions.
- Flag ambiguous cases to project coordinators instead of resolving them silently.
- Deliver assigned work on schedule and at the required quality level.
Candidate background
Preferred Qualifications
- Current law student (2L, 3L) or recent JD graduate.
- Law review or law journal experience, ideally including a cite-checking or source-collection role.
- Strong working knowledge of The Bluebook, including pincites, short forms, signals, and parentheticals.

- Able to explain why a citation is wrong, not just that it is — the reasoning matters as much as the correction.
- Careful and consistent across long sessions of detailed review work.
- Comfortable working independently and meeting deadlines without close supervision.
- Experience as a journal editor, articles editor, or executive editor is a plus.

Alex's experience on micro1A personal account, not a promise about your project
Alexruns this site and has worked on micro1 himself. Written 31 Aug 2026.
- Every interview I took used an AI interviewer, and some included a timed business exercise of around 25 minutes.
- On later applications, interview reuse on micro1 was often partial, and I still answered questions about one to three additional skills.
- I entered a requested rate for the job. One listing showed about $180 an hour. I requested about $160 and received the rate I entered. Those amounts are approximate, and this describes my application, not proof that a lower request caused acceptance.
- Onboarding and setup came to about 2 hours, with clear materials. Of the three platforms I worked on, it was the easiest transition into work. That is an estimate from my projects, not a platform average.
- On my micro1 project, Hubstaff showed time and mouse or keyboard activity, not screenshots, app names or website history. That describes what I saw, not every possible setup.
- I was paid for hours logged, once every 14 days, and I have not experienced late or incorrect payments. That was my arrangement.
One person's applications, not a promise about yours.
