California Courts – Jury Service
California Courts Online – The most comprehensive resource on California court information
Numbers Matter
The size of a CoPO Online Jury isn’t limited to a standard twelve, plus two alternates. Instead, litigants are encouraged to select as many or as few jurors as they feel is appropriate for their case.
No Jury Summons
All CoPO registered jurors who reside in the communities specified by the parties, and who are available when specified, are electronically invited to fill one of the positions in the jury pool.
More Effective Presentations
Say goodbye to awkward foam boards, bulky binders and blow-ups jurors can’t quite see from their seats. In CoPO proceedings, video, exhibits and instructions are uploaded and electronically displayed and available during jury deliberations.
Beyond the Verdict
Get insights from jurors easily with Post-Verdict Questionnaires. For deeper analysis, opt for Demographic Breakdowns to see how different groups voted.
About CoPOAbout CoPOAbout CoPO
Today, fewer than 5% of all civil actions ever make their way to a jury.
As a result, communities have lost their voices in the outcomes of local, legal disputes, and fewer matters are being resolved on their individual merits than are being compromised by concerns about time, money, and the results which have been obtained in superficially similar cases.
By increasing access to, and the utility of, juries, Court of Public Opinion has committed itself to counteracting the negative consequences which have resulted from the routine forfeiture of the Constitutional right to a trial by jury. By combining technology and a modified jury system, CoPO’s online juries are capable of doing what no traditional jury can.
They are not just for trials anymore...
Not only can CoPO’s Online Juries issue a verdict at the conclusion of an online trial, but they are available for mediations and arbitrations, to resolve issues of fact which otherwise prevent the granting of summary judgment, and for our most popular offering, FOCUS GROUPS!
