The Civil Grand Jury

The Civil Grand Jury investigates the efficiency, effectiveness, and transparency of local government agencies – from the Board of Supervisors and city governments, to school boards and special districts – and it issues reports on how they can and should improve. 

Attendees can find out about the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury, what it does and how it functions, and how they can be civil grand jurors themselves.  Our presentation, packed with stories and behind the scenes anecdotes, is tailor made for service clubs and civic organizations. 

Marvel at the power it has, including the ability to subpoena elected officials, and thrill at the notion that you can be part of improving local government entities, no matter how powerful and above investigation they appear to be.
