What kinds of legal roles micro1 lists

Most ask for real practice experience, and many are remote and project based.
How the pay compares
| Platform | Listed pay for legal roles |
|---|---|
| micro1 | $60 to $400/hr across 38 law listings (Oct 16, 2026) |
| DataAnnotation | Up to $125+/hr for legal roles such as Attorney and Paralegal |
| Mercor | Lawyer Talent Network listed at $60 to $150/hr (Oct 13, 2026) |
