The Humboldt County Superior Court is accepting applications from individuals interested in serving on the Humboldt County civil grand jury for fiscal year 2012-13.
The civil grand jury consists of 19 citizens who investigate citizen complaints relating to local government agencies and nonprofit organizations that receive public funding. According to a Humboldt County Superior Court press release, it is an arm of the Superior Court but an entirely independent body.
Grand jurors must meet the following qualifications: U.S. citizenship, 18 years of age or older, a Humboldt County resident for at least one year, not currently holding an elected public office position, and not currently serving on a commission or committee appointed by the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors.
The time commitment is approximately 10 hours per week. Applications are due May 11.
Anyone interested in being a member of the civil grand jury can call court administration at 269-1200 to have an application mailed to them, or download it from www.co.humboldt.ca.us/grandjury.
