eJury - Get paid to be an Online Juror

http://www.ejury.com/ - Get paid to submit your opinion by being an online juror.

I am not a member of eJury - in fact, I just signed up while writing this post. However, I did do the research and many have reported being paid by eJury, the biggest gripe I can find is that it's rare that you receive a case. So this is one of those sites you should join, but forget about, until you finally get a case that is.

"eJury provides attorneys the opportunity to learn what others think about their cases. eJury functions much like a traditional "live" mock jury or focus group except that the jurors (or eJurors) participate via the Internet.  The convenience of online participation allows for a larger panel on each case, giving the attorney the type of feedback normally associated with large focus group research, but without the traditionally high cost.  The results give the submitting attorney something he/she can use to promote settlement and/or prepare for trial."
"Step 1:  The attorney prepares the Case Submission which consists of facts from the perspectives of each party, the jury questions which would be used at trial, and personal questions designed to obtain additional feedback.
Step 2:  eJury converts the attorney's Case Submission into an "html format" and posts it to a secure location on our website where only eJurors in the county of selection can access the case.  The eJurors in that county are then notified by e-mail that a new case has been posted.
Step 3:  The eJurors return to our website, log in, and begin reviewing the facts and answering the questions, each clicking a "Submit Verdict" button upon completion.  Once the minimum number of verdicts have been rendered (usually 50), the case automatically concludes.  A case summary is posted later for those interested in seeing the results."
"For each verdict rendered, eJurors are paid $5 - $10 (*Note - I have read of people receiving more, $20-80*) depending on the length of the case.  The amount to be paid will be shown at the top of each case.  You certainly won't get rich serving as an eJuror, but just one case a week would probably pay for your Internet access. Payments are made via PayPal, a global leader in online payment solutions with 64 millions account members worldwide.  If you don't have a PayPal account already, you can sign-up for free by clicking the link below or by visiting www.paypal.com."
