Online Juror Review
Legal Cases, Provide Feedback and Get Paid |
|
To determine the strength of their case
before going to trial, attorneys often employ the services of mock
juries and use the feedback they receive to improve their
case. These mock juries can cost anywhere from $20,000
to $50,000, though, and not all legal firms are willing to spend
that kind of money, particularly if the case may not result in a
large settlement.
Enter OnlineVerdict, a company that is able to provide
jury research services at a fraction of the cost by
recruiting mock jurors online. This gives law firms
the ability to test only certain elements of their case,
for example, their opening or closing, without having to
invest heavily in focus groups and research about
community attitudes and more before the start of a
trial. Timely feedback from online mock jurors can
be essential and is a cost-effective way to gauge how
successful a case might be.
To become an online mock juror, you must answer a
series of demographic questions (e.g., date of birth,
marital status, ethnicity, gender, household income, party
affiliation, employment status, etc.), some screening
questions, and agree to the terms and conditions of the
service. You must also be a U.S. citizen and
be over the age of 18. Your profile is then
stored in OnlineVerdict's database, and when a case is
posted in your venue, you will receive an email invitation
to review the case.
As a mock juror, you will look at stimulating and
interesting legal cases from the comfort of your home, provide
feedback through an online questionnaire and be paid from $20 to
$60 per case. The time commitment for each case varies from
20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the details of the case.
You can choose the cases you want to review, and there is no long
term commitment. As a juror, you also pledge to keep all
case-related information confidential.
Checks are mailed once a month, and the number of
cases you may be asked to review will vary depending on the number
of attorneys in your area who are using this service.
