The Contra Costa County Superior Court is seeking volunteers for civil grand jury service.
The 19-member panel monitors, reviews and reports on city and county governments, school districts and special districts.
Volunteers who are chosen will serve a one-year term from July 2011 to June 2012.
"Grand juries are the citizen watchdogs of civic functions," grand jury forewoman Linda Chew said in a news release.
Grand jurors must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old and a county resident for at least one year prior to selection. They cannot hold any elected position within the county, must be in good health and have reliable transportation to Martinez and able to devote at least 20 hours per week to service.
Jurors receive a stipend for attending full jury and committee meetings and are reimbursed for travel. Martinez parking permits are provided.
Applications are due April 15.
For more information, call 925-957-5638 or visit www.cc-courts.org/grandjury.
