How does a legal focus group occur? 

In this platform, civil lawsuits or claims will usually be presented by a neutral person.  A moderator will read the same types of jury instructions that a judge would read in a trial.  Then the jurors deliberate.  And ultimately provide a single set of answers on a jury verdict form.  After that, additional questions may be asked by the moderator.  The session then concludes.

What is my role? 

Your role is to participate as a focus group juror.  

What is required for an in-person focus group? 

You will be provided with directions to the focus group facility.  Free parking is available.  The session will be conducted in a conference room.   Food and beverage service will be provided.

What is required for Zoom focus groups?

You must have a good internet connection and be in a quiet, private space free from distractions.  You must have your video on at all times and be prepared to actively participate.  

How long are focus groups?

Each posting indicates how long the focus group is scheduled for.  Most focus groups run for three hours.

Can I talk about what happens in a focus group?

Because focus groups are of real cases, everything that you learn and discuss remains confidential.  You will sign a confidentiality agreement.

How does payment work?

The law firm conducting your focus group will pay you promptly with a check after the session has ended.
