Marin Grand Jury Application Deadline Extended
Applications are now being accepted through April 20.
From the Marin Chapter of the California Grand Jurors Association:
Marin County needs you to be a member of the 2014-2015 Civil Grand Jury.
What is the Grand Jury? The Grand Jury is a watchdog body of 19 members committed to helping County and City government. This is not a criminal Grand Jury. It is a civil Grand Jury empowered by the judicial system to conduct investigations and submit solutions to a wide range of problems.

What does it take to be a good juror? Ask yourself these questions. Can you cooperate with others toward a common goal? Are you a good listener? Can you keep secrets? Can you ask thoughtful questions? Can you commit to working 20 hours per week for a year? If you answered “yes” to all of these questions, and you are a U. S. citizen as well as a resident of Marin County for a minimum of one year and are at least 18 years of age, you have what it takes to be a member of the Marin County Civil Grand Jury.
