The virtual jury is one of the newest tools used in pre-trial research aimed at helping lawyers develop their courtroom presentations, select the best jurors for their cases and reach negotiated settlements. With E-jurors, virtual jurors sign up to participate in a decision-making process aimed at helping lawyers determine what their cases are worth, find facts to emphasize and learn public attitudes. Jurors get paid $5 to $10 per verdict depending on the complexity of the case. This is not a part time job because you don't earn that much money, but it is a good way to learn about the legal process.

Here's how it works: After registering on the site, eJurors are assigned cases. Cases are assigned by county and region, so it's hard to say how many cases may come you way. The facts of each case are presented online, along with any diagrams or other relevant information. eJurors read the "Plaintiff's" perspective and the "Defendants" perspective and then answer a series of "Jury Questions," designed to gauge their feelings about the case and the evidence presented.
