Jurymind moves weight of jury duty into your phone

Neat product. But it doesn&#x27;t replace the need for the &quot;10 minute phone calls&quot; since they cannot legally require potential Jurors to have a smartphone or justify dismissing them if they don&#x27;t.<p>So ultimately all you&#x27;ve done is double some court clerk&#x27;s work to now update both the calls and app API.<p>Plus I have a bunch of security&#x2F;privacy questions relating to this. If you allow people to get Jury info before they first appear, then anyone also can. If you don&#x27;t then what good is it? So is there now the work of sending out passwords to all potential Jurors?<p>I guess I just struggle seeing a really technophobic court system adopting this. I also see it being a lot of additional work for them, with the pay off being, what? Making the Juror&#x27;s life easier? But you are &quot;selling&quot; this to the courts, they seem to gain nothing and lose a lot.<p>If you really believe more people will turn up because there is an app and password, you&#x27;ll have to explain how that works. Seems like you&#x27;ve just added more steps, and I also doubt the &quot;10 minute phone calls&quot; at the primary thing driving people away from Jury duty.
