Jury Operations
Fill and run the jury pool, from summons through compensation, with fewer no-shows and far less paper and phone time. Multi-channel summons and reminders keep response rates high while qualification, selection, and pay run on their own.
Keep the box full without the paper chase
The challenge
Fill and run the jury pool, from summons through compensation, with fewer no-shows and far less paper and phone time.
Summonses go out by mail and come back slowly
Paper summons and questionnaires are slow, easy to ignore, and expensive to mail, so qualification drags and the pool fills late.
No-shows leave panels short
Without timely, multi-channel reminders, summoned jurors forget or never confirm, and clerks scramble to seat a panel on the morning of trial.
Juror questions flood the phones
Do I have to come in, where do I park, did my deferral go through. Each call pulls a clerk away from building the pool.
Paper questionnaires and manual pay are slow
Hand-keyed questionnaires and manually calculated juror pay add days and errors to a process that repeats every term.
How it works
From your case data to the outcome
- 01
Summon across channels
Send and track summons by mail, email, and text with delivery confirmation, so reminders actually reach jurors.
- 02
Qualify online
Jurors complete qualification and deferral questionnaires online in their language, which fills the pool faster and cuts paper handling.
- 03
Select and communicate
Draw fair, auditable randomized panels, then push reporting instructions, schedule changes, and updates automatically to the people selected.
- 04
Track and pay
Log attendance with real-time check-in, follow up on no-shows automatically, and calculate and disburse juror compensation in the same system.

The outcome
A full box, built mostly on its own
Summonses go out across channels and come back online, reminders keep response rates high, and the routine questions answer themselves. Clerks stop stuffing envelopes and working the phones and start managing the exceptions, while selection stays fair and auditable and juror pay runs itself. The panel is seated because the pool was full.
