Applicants Are Sought for Grand Jury
The county is seeking people for a job that’s low on pay but high on importance.
Applications are being sought from those interested in serving on the grand jury, charged with promoting sound government, making public policy recommendations and investigating and issuing indictments in civil and criminal matters.
Grand jurors must commit to a full-time job that pays $25 per day and a maximum of $125 per week. Work begins July 1.
Most of the 19 members will be homemakers, students or retirees, said Evelyn Valle, supervisor of the jury commissioner’s office. But everyone is welcome to apply.
Applicants must be at least 18 years old, a citizen, a county resident for at least one year and “possessed of ordinary intelligence, sound judgment and fair character.”
Applications must be submitted before Jan. 30. Members will be appointed May 20.
For applications, call (714) 834-6747 or download a form from the Superior Court’s Web site at: https://www.oc.ca.gov/superior.
