CGJA will be providing more information, including suggested actions that could be taken by grand juries, in the weeks ahead. The bill takes effect January 1, 2012 and thus impacts current juries.
Here we reproduce news and opinion articles in the print and electronic media since October 8, 2008, about each of our 58 county grand juries. Most are about grand jury reports. Our posting of these articles does not purport to reflect the opinions of CGJA or our members. We hope that this feature is a resource to grand juries, grand jury advisors, CGJA chapters, the media, and the public. Sponsored by the California Grand Jurors' Association, www.cgja.org/

Governor Signs into Law Bill Affecting Grand Juries
Just ahead of the deadline for signing or vetoing over 800 bills passed by the legislature, Governor Brown signed Assembly Bill 622 that allows an interviewee under oath to have an attorney present. This bill was watered down considerably during the legislative process but still opposed by CGJA and many others.
