Frequently Asked Questions
We know “this isn’t a scam” is exactly what a scammer would say—but we also know how unusual this kind of opportunity sounds. All we can do is be as transparent as possible: we work with real lawyers on real cases, before trial, to help them understand how jurors might respond. They hire us to listen to everyday people like you.
Though the business is based in Wyoming, we regularly work with attorneys across the country. We’ve supported cases in Colorado, Missouri, Illinois, and other jurisdictions—especially through Zoom-based focus groups and jury selection consulting.
You can read what others have said about their participation on our Reviews page or check out public comments on our Facebook page.
Lawyers don’t get much feedback about their cases once they’re in court. Focus groups give them a chance to hear how real people respond—what makes sense, what feels unfair, what questions come up. You don’t need legal training—just your honest impressions.
That depends on the group. You might hear a summary of a real legal case, review documents or exhibits, listen to arguments or witness testimony, or even watch a lawyer practice how they might question jurors. Sometimes groups are asked to vote on a case, other times the goal is to have a conversation about what matters to people in the community. No matter the format, you will never be expected to represent anyone else or know the “right” answer. You just need to be willing to speak for yourself with your honest opinions.
Yes. While we don’t expect speeches, we do expect participation. If you’re someone who prefers to stay quiet and let others do the talking, this probably isn’t the right opportunity. But if you’re willing to share your thoughts respectfully, we’d love to hear from you.
Yes. You’ll be asked to keep everything you hear in the session completely private—even if it seems like a casual or low-stakes conversation. Likewise, we will not share your identifying information with anyone involved in the legal case or outside it.
If you are later called for jury duty and believe the case may be the same one discussed in a focus group, you must ask to speak privately with the judge and attorneys and explain your prior participation. You should then be excused from that jury panel.
We do record sessions, and we may use video stills or short silent clips in marketing materials—for example, to show what a real focus group looks like. We do not use sound, names, or any opinions. Please contact us if you wish to opt out of this part of our agreement.
No. That is not what we do. Our goal is to help attorneys better understand how people think and where their case may be confusing, unclear, or emotionally difficult. This is not about finding “ideal jurors.” It is about learning how real members of the community respond.
You must be at least 18 years old and (usually) must live in the same area where the case is being tried. We ask for a local ID or other proof of residence (such as a utility bill or other official mail) to verify this.
Not at all. We’re looking for ordinary people who are willing to think through a case and share their opinions. That’s it.
We pay a flat rate for your time and participation and you must attend the full session to qualify for payment. If you lose your connection, we do not offer partial payment. We offer payment via PayPal, Venmo, or CashApp. Payment is typically made at the end of the session or within 48 hours.
