Grand jury service

Civic-minded residents can apply for service on the 2026-27 Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury, a cornerstone of government transparency, accountability and public oversight.

Under the court’s direction, grand jurors are empowered to review records, evaluate government programs, inspect detention facilities and issue findings and recommendations that promote ethical, efficient and transparent governance.

Applications, due by Friday, March 27, and informational materials including the Civil Grand Jury brochure are available at https://santaclara.courts.ca.gov/CGJ#recruitment.
