RIVERSIDE COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY SELECTION CEREMONY TO BE HELD ON JULY 1, 2015
RIVERSIDE COUNTY:
The Judges of the Superior Court have nominated 25 Riverside County citizens to the panel from which the members of the 2015-2016 Civil Grand Jury will be drawn. Exercising an option available under amended statues, the Judges have named among the 25 member panel, six members of the 2014-2015 Civil Grand Jury as “holdovers” to the 2015-2016 Civil Grand Jury. The 19 member 2015-2016 Civil Grand Jury will be drawn from this 25 member panel on July 1, 2015, and the 6 persons not drawn for immediate service will remain to be drawn as alternates should that become necessary during the 2015-2016 fiscal year.
In making judicial nominations to the panel, the court met the statutory requirement for population-proportionate representation of the county’s five supervisorial districts. In addition, the court attempted to apportion the panel on the basis of gender, race, and age to the extent possible from among the applications and nominations received.
The 2015-2016 Civil Grand Jury panel will be summoned to a special session of the Superior Court to be held at 12:15 p.m. on Wednesday, July 1, 2015, at the Riverside County Historic Courthouse (Department 1), located at 4050 Main Street in Riverside. At this time the names of the 19 individuals who will serve on the 2015-2016 Civil Grand Jury will be drawn.
