Litigation Lawyer (Japan)

Japan (remote) · Contract · $140-150/hr

Mercor is partnering with a leading legal AI company to benchmark how well AI systems answer real questions of Japanese 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 experience — at least 2 years (3+ preferred) at a law firm 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 law firm.
  • Qualified to practise in Japan (bengoshi, or registered foreign lawyer / gaikokuho jimu bengoshi), with a strong command of Japanese litigation and procedural law
  • Native or fluent Japanese, 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
