Attorneys will use these pre-trials as a way to gauge how the real trial will go. The opinions received from this information will shape the way they approach a case in trial.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-intro\" id=\"section--requirements\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-intro__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gavel-700x700.jpg\" class=\"wp-block-intro__bg-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gavel-700x700.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.homeincomeguides.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/gavel-1860x1163.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 769px) 768px,\n            \t\t\t\t\t1500px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-intro__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Requirements to Be a Mock Juror?<\/h2>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>While requirements will vary depending on the company, you will generally find the following requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Be at least 18 years old<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>A citizen of the United States<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>The ability to read and write<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>No history of a felony<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Must have a sound mind<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Not a Lawyer or Related to One<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 You may be disqualified if you are a layer or related to one closely.

Jury talk offers work in both mock trials and legal focus groups. They will notify you when you have been selected to participate.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jury Talk has been in operation for 40 years and is a division of the Wilmington Institute Network.
