PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Inyo County Superior Court is now recruiting for the 2026-2027 Civil Grand Jury
Applications for the Inyo County Civil Grand Jury are now being accepted.
Service on the Civil Grand Jury is an excellent opportunity to learn about the inner workings of government, while providing a valuable service to the community. The 11 members of the Civil Grand Jury serve for one year (July – June) and are empowered to investigate the operations of county, city and district governments; provide civil oversight of local government departments and agencies; and respond to citizen complaints.
The Civil Grand Jury sets its own agenda and meeting schedule. Much of the work is performed in small committees allowing for considerable flexibility in the work schedule and meeting locations.
Grand Jurors are compensated $25 per full panel meeting and $10 per special or committee meeting; they are also compensated the standard IRS mileage rates for any travel while conducting Grand Jury business.
To be eligible for selection, a person must be at least 18 years of age, a United States citizen, and a resident of the County of Inyo for at least one year prior to appointment. Other requirements include sufficient knowledge of the English language, possession of natural faculties, of ordinary intelligence, sound judgment, and good character. By law, elected public officials are not eligible.
To obtain a copy of the application or for further questions or comments, please visit the Grand Jury’s website at http://www.inyocourt.ca.gov/generalinfo/jury_civilgrandjury.htm or contact Alyse Caton at (760) 872-4515 or [email protected].
