The Superior Court of California, County of Humboldt is seeking additional applicants for the 2021/22 Humboldt County Civil Grand Jury.
The Humboldt Superior Court impanels 19 citizens annually to act as an independent body of the judicial system. The Humboldt County civil grand jury is seeking more applicants for calendar year 2021/22 – the current term ends June 30, 2022. We understand that the current pandemic guidelines in place encourages people to travel as little as possible, and as a result the Civil Grand Jury is currently conducting online Zoom meetings.
Currently, the Civil Grand Jury meets on Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each week in the morning. The Court also encourages interested persons to apply and be considered to serve as alternates, if and when vacancies occur during the term of service.
The Court encourages applications from citizens representing a broad cross-section of the Humboldt County community. The primary work of the civil grand jury is to investigate and review citizen complaints concerning the operations of city and county government as well as other tax supported and non-profit agencies and districts. Based on these reviews, the grand jury publishes its findings and may recommend constructive action to improve the quality and effectiveness of local government. The civil grand jury does NOT consider criminal indictments.
