Mock Juror
Magnus frequently receives calls from people wanting to be mock jurors. Being a mock juror is not a "career opportunity" at Magnus. Magnus randomly recruits mock juror participants for research, via cold calling. Magnus does not maintain a database of mock jurors to call upon for projects. We are willing to pass along names and contact information, including telephone numbers, county and state of residency, etc. to our jury recruiter who may or may not use this information when making cold calls. However, every mock jury participant will be screened for eligibility for any mock jury engagement. Submission of contact information in no way ensures that you will be called or used for any mock jury, ever.
Magnus is an equal opportunity employer. Magnus is a smoke
free and drug free work place.
