The 2011 OC Grand Jury; “There’s An App For That”
Yes, You Can Still Apply To The Orange County Grand Jury…But Time Is Running Out.
The Orange County Grand Jury is made up of ordinary citizens who decide on important matters within our local government.
Have you ever wanted to decide on important matters here in Orange County?
Are you an honest citizen who is at least 18 years old?
Been a resident in the County of Orange for at least 1 year?
Well then, you should hurry up and send in your application to the OC Grand Jury selection committee! Even though there’s not an Apple iPhone or iPad App Store application that streamlines the process, you can still apply via the web, or in person if you’re really old school.
Here’s What The OC Register Has To Say About The Job:
“Grand Jurors review and evaluate county and city agencies, schools, and special districts within Orange County. Prior grand juries have focused on issues such as the condition and management of Orange County jails, planning for statewide water shortages, and the child abuse index.”
“The grand jury also weighs and considers issuing criminal indictments after evidence is presented by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.”
“A grand juror must be 18 years of age or older, a United States citizen, and an Orange County resident for at least one year. Before being nominated, each qualifying applicant is interviewed by a panel of Superior Court judges. The Orange County Sheriff’s Department conducts background investigations of nominees.”
