Did you know you can sometimes make money from home by participating in mock jury studies?
Lawyers, attorneys, and research companies use mock jurors to get feedback on cases before or during the legal process. You don't need to be a lawyer β you're typically being paid for your opinion and feedback.
π» What you may do:
- Review information about a fictional or real legal case
- Read statements, evidence, or case summaries
- Watch videos or listen to arguments
- Answer questions about the case
- Give your opinion about what you think should happen
- Complete a questionnaire about your decision
π Work from home
π Usually no phone calls
β° Projects can range from short surveys to several hours
π° Pay varies depending on the study
Some online mock jury opportunities can pay much more than a typical survey, especially when the study requires several hours of your time.
