Volunteers for the 2015-2016 San Bernardino County civil grand jury are now being requested. Successful applicants will serve as civil grand jurors for the period beginning July 1, 2015, and ending June 30, 2016. To be eligible for selection, a person must be at least 18 years old, a citizen of the U.S., and a resident of California and the County of San Bernardino for at least one year prior to appointment. By law, elected public officials are not eligible. Service as a civil grand juror involves an average of three to five full working days per week. Compensation is $25 per day plus meals and appropriate mileage. The regular civil grand jury meeting place is located downtown San Bernardino. The civil grand jury is charged by the California Penal Code to investigate all aspects of county, city and special district government, and possibly hear information on certain criminal investigations. Interested applicants can complete the application on-line at the civil grand jury’s website at www.sbcounty.gov/grandjury or by calling 909-387-3820. Applications will be accepted through March 2, 2015.
