A Day in the Life of a Mock Juror
Our director of recruiting walks you through a real event — from check-in and breakfast to deliberation and getting paid.
A plain-English look at mock juries: what they are, why attorneys use them, and what your role is as a participant.
A mock jury is a group of everyday people who hear a version of a real, active legal case and share their honest reactions. Attorneys use what they learn to prepare for trial, arbitration, or settlement discussions.
You and the other participants review case materials and listen to presentations from attorneys preparing for trial. Then you answer questions and join a group discussion, called deliberation, just as you would on an actual jury.
Attorneys can’t know how a case will land with real people until they hear from real people. Your honest perspective — not a “right” answer — is exactly what they need.
No legal experience needed. You just need to be willing to listen carefully and share what you think.
No. Nothing you decide affects the outcome of the case. But the case itself is real and active, which is why everything you hear is confidential.
