You’re Wanted on Grand Jury
By Councilwoman Gerrie Schipske | November 17, 2008
The Director of Jury Services for the Superior Court of California County of Los Angeles has asked that I help in soliciting applications for the 2009-2010 Civil Grand Jury which will be implaneled on July 1, 2009.
The court is attempting to insure a pool of grand jury nominees that is representative of the ethnic and racial composition of Los Angeles County.
Civil Grand Jury service is virtually a full-time obligation over a period of one year.
To serve, you must be a citizen of the US; at least 18 years of age; a resident of LA County for at least one year; or ordinary intelligence and good character; and have a working knowledge of the English language.
The primary function of the Civil Grand Jury is to investigate county, city and joint-power agencies; to act as a “watch-dog” by examining carefully and completely the operations of various government agencies within LA County.
If you are willing to accept the challenge of Grand Jury service, you need to apply BEFORE December 11, 2008.
Applications are available through my office by calling: 562 570-6932; by callings the LA County Grand Jury office at: 213 893-1047 or by going on line: http://www.grandjury.co.la.ca.us
