Santa Clara County Superior Court is looking for volunteers to serve on a year-long civil grand jury, presiding Judge Richard J. Loftus announced Monday.

The civil grand jury serves as the county's investigating body and may examine the operations of city and county government, special districts and school districts. It also has the authority to inspect adult and juvenile detention facilities.

Applicants must be residents of the county, U.S. citizens and 18 years of age or older.

Serving on the civil grand jury requires a time commitment of 20-25 hours per week for the one-year term, which runs from June 23 of this year to June 30, 2012.

Anyone interested in applying should contact Gloria Chacón at the Office of the Civil Grand Jury at 408-882-2722 or visit the Web site at www.scscourt.org to obtain an application on line.

The deadline to get applications in is March 7.
