CASE ACTIVITY
“When will I receive a case?” Or “Why haven’t I received a case lately?”
The number of cases available to review is dependent on the number of attorneys in your area using our system at any given time. As soon as a case is available to review you will be notified at the email address we have on file.
“My county or district doesn’t seem to have much activity lately. Can I review cases in other counties or areas of the country?”
Unfortunately, OnlineVerdict.com jurors are only allowed to review cases in the county or Federal District in which they live. This is how real jurors are chosen and attorneys want to know what jurors in their particular venue think about the facts of their case. Occasionally we have national surveys that all OnlineVerdict.com jurors may participate in. As soon as a case is available to review you will be notified at the email address we have on file.
“How many cases can I expect in my area?”
Unfortunately, we cannot respond to every case frequency question about every county in the United States. The number of cases available to review is dependent on the number of attorneys in your area using our system at any given time. In general, major metropolitan areas tend to have more activity than smaller counties, but we do have cases all across the country. We started out in the Midwest but are growing nationally every day. As soon as a case is available to review you will be notified at the email address we have on file.
ACCOUNT QUESTIONS
“My email address or contact information has changed. What should I do?”
You can update your email address (or any other contact information) by logging into your juror account at www.onlineverdict.com/jurorslogin.php. Just use your old/original email address and password. An email message informing us of changes in your contact information will not change your information in our system.
“How can I delete my juror account?”
Login to your account at www.onlineverdict.com/jurorslogin.php with your email address and password. There is an option to delete your account on that page.
“I heard about OnlineVerdict.com and would like more information. How do I sign up?”
All the information about our service is on our website. Essentially, we ask mock jurors to review case summaries for attorneys. Payment ranges from $20 for about 20-30 minutes of your time and can be $60 or more for longer cases.
If you are interested in participating go to https://onlineverdict.com/jurorssignup.php.Do not send us your resume. Just fill out the juror sign up form. Thanks for your interest.
“Are taxes taken out of my checks?”
As an online juror you will not be an employee of OnlineVerdict.com and we do not take taxes out of your checks. You are considered to be an independent contractor with us and are responsible for reporting any additional income on your tax return. If you receive more than $600 in a calendar year from us, however, we will send you a 1099. We will only ask for your social security number if we need to send you a 1099 form.
“Is the sign up process secure?”
Yes, the OnlineVerdict.com website is a secured site. You know that your account information is secure because there is a small gold padlock symbol on the lower right-hand corner of your browser window, and the browser address window states: https// where the “s” stands for secure. We value your privacy and assure you that your email address and other account information are strictly for OnlineVerdict.com use. We do not share or rent contact information or email addresses.
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
“I filled out the form but it keeps taking me back to the sign up page.”
If the sign up page reappears after you hit submit, you must have missed answering one of the questions. That question(s) should be listed in red at the top of the form and marked with an asterisk on the form. You will also have to re-enter your password for security reasons. Please make sure you have answered all the questions and try submitting the form again. You will receive a confirmation email from us when the sign up process is complete.
“The county drop-down box is not working on the sign up form.”
If there are no counties listed in the drop-down menu, the first step is to try selecting a different state (two questions earlier) and then re-selecting your current state. This will reset the county drop-down menu.
If this does not fix the problem for you, make sure Javascript is turned on, and try disabling all your internet browser toolbars and plugins. Then close and reopen your internet browser and try filling out the form again. Sometimes just shutting down your browser or returning to the page at a later time will fix the problem. If all else fails, you may want to try completing the form on another computer / internet browser. This is a very rare problem, but it has something to do with the user’s computer set up and is not a problem with the sign up form itself.
FOREIGN/CITIZENSHIP QUESTIONS
“Is this service available in Canada?
Unfortunately, we don’t offer this service in Canada. Your legal system is different than ours and we have not had any requests from attorneys in Canada to solicit juror feedback on cases.
“Do I need to be a US citizen to participate?”
Thank you for your interest but our OnlineVerdict jurors must be jury eligible and that requires US citizen status. Green card status does not qualify for jury duty. Attorneys want to know what potential jurors in their particular venue think about the facts of their case.
“What if I currently live abroad but I am a US citizen?”
If you currently have a US mailing address, a US driver’s license and/or are registered to vote in the US, you can sign up as an OnlineVerdict.com juror. When creating your account, use the US address reflected on your driver’s license and/or voter registration. Please note that we will not mail checks to foreign addresses.
“My question was not addressed in the above categories.”
Please send an email to technicalsupport@onlineverdict.com and we will attempt to troubleshoot your problem.
