1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information from participants:

• Demographic data: including age, gender, race/ethnicity, education level, income range, and ZIP code

• Contact information: including your name, email address, and phone number

• Survey responses: answers to screening or background questions related to jury selection

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to:

• Form representative mock juries that reflect the demographics of the county in which the trial will be held.

• Contact you with details about mock trials, scheduling, and participation

3. How We Share Your Information

There is no circumstance in which we would sell your personal data.

Should you choose to sign up for a mock trial, your response data will be shared with the law firm and lawyers who are conducting the mock trial.

 

5. Your Choices and Rights

• You may request to access, update, or delete your personal data at any time by contacting landers-macleod@mnaj.org

• Participation is voluntary. You may opt out of communications by emailing us.

The location of in-person groups vary depending on project.  Groups for metro area participants are often held at our office in downtown St. Paul, groups outside metro are held in locations closer to where participants live.

We also have virtual groups, held online via Zoom Meetings.  Participants must have internet access, a working webcam, Chrome or Firefox browser is preferred. A smart phone can work but is not ideal as it is difficult to see details of shared material on a small screen.

Each project is different, but each will involve hearing information from a legal case and giving your feedback.  Sometimes this may be hearing a small part of a legal case and having a discussion, or it could be hearing most of the case and deliberating like an real jury would. We are looking for fair minded individuals who are willing to listened to the information and give honest feedback.

Participants need to have a drivers license or state issued ID that is valid in the state you live. Outside of that requirement, each project has its own specific criteria.  When you fill out the survey, we will review your information and contact you when we have a group that you will fit into.

Each project requires participants from certain cities/counties, and they also vary in how many participants are needed. If we do not have anything for you right away, we will contact you when additional groups are scheduled to see if you are still interested and available. 

We are happy to answer any questions that would help you decide if this is something you would like to participate in.  You can use the form below to contact us, or you can speak to our Litigation Support team at 612-334-3137.
