LOCAL Join the Alameda County Civil Grand Jury 2025-2026
Each year, judicial officers of the Superior Court nominate civic-minded county residents to serve on the Alameda County Civil Grand Jury. This important body is tasked with examining and reporting on the operations of local government agencies and investigating citizen complaints, acting as the public's watchdog.

The court is seeking a pool of at least 30 nominees - six from each Alameda County Supervisorial District. From this pool, 19 jurors will be randomly selected to serve on the 2025-2026 Civil Grand Jury.

Important Information for Prospective Jurors
To learn more about the qualifications and application process, visit the Grand Jury website. Interested individuals should submit their applications online.

Participation in the Civil Grand Jury requires a significant commitment of at least two meetings per week via Zoom for one year (Wednesday and Thursday mornings). Applicants must be proficient in Microsoft Teams and Zoom, and strong report-writing skills are essential.

While nominations are accepted year-round, the focus is currently on building a Grand Jury for the fiscal year starting July 1, 2025. Nominations must be submitted by April 15, 2025.

For any questions about Grand Jury service, please contact Cassie Barner at (510) 208-9855 or email her at Cassie.Barner@acgov.org.

Help us ensure a well-rounded Civil Grand Jury by encouraging eligible community members to apply.
