Read unbiased summaries of both sides of a legal dispute.
Participate in mock jury research
Help shape the legal system while earning compensation. Review real case summaries, evaluate evidence, and share your perspective from the comfort of your home.
Your opinion matters in the courtroom
Before attorneys take a case to trial, they need to know how real people—potential jurors like you—will react to their arguments, witnesses, and evidence.
As an OnlineVerdict mock juror, you act as a sounding board. You'll read case summaries, watch recorded witness testimony, and review exhibits. Then, you'll answer questionnaires detailing who you believe is at fault and why.
Your honest, unbiased feedback helps attorneys refine their trial strategies, understand weaknesses in their case, and often decide whether to settle a dispute or proceed to a courtroom trial.
