No prior AI experience is required. Strong Bluebook knowledge, analytical thinking, and sound editorial judgment are essential for success in this role.

Review existing Bluebook and pinpoint citation (pincite) grading rubrics to identify unclear, incomplete, or inconsistently applied rules. Identify citation edge cases not addressed by existing guidelines and recommend appropriate solutions. Create sample cite-checking tasks using source materials and citations containing realistic errors, along with corrected citations and explanations of the applicable rules. Develop tasks across various citation types and difficulty levels, from basic formatting errors to complex pincite and source-support issues. Apply Bluebook citation rules consistently and accurately across all submissions. Escalate ambiguous citation issues to project coordinators rather than making undocumented assumptions. Complete assigned tasks within established deadlines while maintaining high standards of accuracy and quality.

Prior law review or law journal experience, particularly in cite-checking or source collection. Strong working knowledge of The Bluebook, including pincites, short forms, citation signals, and parentheticals. Ability to identify citation errors, provide accurate corrections, and explain the reasoning behind each correction. Excellent attention to detail and consistency when reviewing extensive legal materials. Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and meet deadlines without close supervision. Experience as a journal editor, articles editor, or executive editor is an advantage. Selection Process Application: Submit your application and complete the screening questions.
