eJury -- Get Paid to Convict
Years ago I participated in a mock jury. If you've never heard of them, it's basically where a legal team tests their case before a trial starts. It's helps the lawyers find the strengths and weaknesses in their case, get an idea of general public attitudes, etc. We spent most of a Saturday listening to lawyers and answering questions, and for our efforts we got a free buffett lunch, a check for about $70, and the chance to learn about how trials work.
Now you can do the same thing, except you participate online, and instead of putting in an entire Saturday, you can do it in about 30 minutes and get paid $10. The company that's come up with this idea is called eJury, founded by Christopher L. Bagby in 1999.
You have to be a U.S. citizen over 18 years old, "of sound mind and good moral character", and have never been convicted of, or currently under indictment for, a felony. You also have to take an oath, promising that you're not a lawyer, legal assistant, paralegal, insurance adjuster, etc. and that you're not married to one, related to one, and you've never even seen one except on TV (or something like that).
They pay between $5 and 10 per trial, and they pay using PayPal. How many cases you get depends on where you live (they select eJurors from the same county where the actual trial will take place), and claim that in Tarrant and Dallas counties (where eJury was started) they average a case a week.
They even have a previous case for you to read so you can see how it works. Looks pretty cool.
