That's a good start, but spin it out, end-user customize it and promote
it through hiring professional jurors. Have them register with your service,
provide "juror education" and certification, pay them per case. Think of all
the potential jurors out there that for a little time would more than happily
do supplemental pickup juror service, turn it into a money venture. Better
yet, do it pro bono and charge a 3-5% settlement fee that you receive
either way. Front the whole thing with Susan Estrich or Greta Van Sustren--
sort of a cross between eBay and DrKoop.com. You could start and launch the
whole thing for about $800k-$1.2M in less than 4 weeks with the majority
of costs going to advertising and marketing. Piece of cake.
