An impaneled Jury represents a diversity of men and women from socioeconomic, ethnic, age, educational background and geographical areas of the County.
Jurors are sworn-in and begin their 12-month service in July. The Presiding Judge may reappoint up to ten Jurors to serve a second term. Each year, the Judge appoints a Foreman to preside at Grand Jury meetings.
As an independent body, the Grand Jury alone determines its agenda. The Presiding Judge, County Counsel and the District Attorney are available for advice.
