Quimbee is seeking to hire a brilliant attorney or professor of law to help us grade practice bar essays for our students.

We hire only the most brilliant professors and attorneys to grade the bar review essays prepared by our students. But being a really smart lawyer just isn't enough. Quimbee bar essay reviewers must be masters at reviewing the law, breaking difficult concepts down, and deciphering whether the students have correctly grasped what is required of them on bar essays. In this capacity, you will serve as, in effect, a legal educator. This is a position of great trust and responsibility. You are on the front lines, charged with ensuring that our students are capable of preparing high quality bar exam essay answers, and receive constructive feedback in areas that may be lacking.

We are seeking an attorney or professor of law with significant experience assisting law students with passing bar exams, and specifically with preparing essays for bar exams. The selected candidate will work on a contract basis, with a view toward possible future project work on an ongoing basis. As a bar review essay grader, you'll work collaboratively with Quimbee's editorial team to ensure that your work is the best it possibly can be. You'll master Quimbee's editorial and stylistic requirements to ensure that Quimbee delivers quality content to students on time, every time.

Who You Are

• An expert in bar exam essay preparation: You have mastered grading bar exam essays, and mastered the art of delivering critical and insightful feedback to law students.
