"Would you make a good Grand Juror? Can you say yes to the following questions? Are you a good listener? Are you interested in trying to increase the efficiency of local governments and save taxpayer's dollars? Are you willing to serve without personal gains or hidden agendas? Have you the stamina to commit yourself to a full year of productive work? Can you keep a secret? Can you cooperate with 18 other diverse personalities? Can you ask thoughtful questions, review documents and help write lucid reports? Can you chair a committee? Can you devote a minimum of 20 hours of service per week?
If you can say yes to all of the above questions, the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury invites you to apply for service on the 2012-2013 Civil Grand Jury. Applications are now available and will be accepted until April 3, 2012. The next Grand Jury term commences July 1, 2012 and ends June 30, 2013. Any resident of San Mateo County for more than one year, who is a citizen of the United States, 18 years of age or older, of sound judgment and good character, and with sufficient knowledge of the English language is eligible for selection by the Honorable Richard C. Livermore of the San Mateo County Superior Court. Elected public officials are not eligible.
The Court encourages all interested individuals to apply. The Court strives to obtain a cross section of the county population. After the completion of an interview process by Judge Livermore, jurors will be selected through a randow draw.
Application forms can be obtained by writing Grand Jury Clerk, Court Executive Office, 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063 or telephoning 650-599-1200.
