This is the landing page for Marin Chapter of the California Grand Jurors’ Association (MCCGJA) members who wish to bypass the general Home page that is geared for the public. If this description applies to you, bookmark this page for future direct access.
Members of the MCCGJA, as former jurors, join this Association to continue their work on behalf of the residents of Marin County. Being active in MCCGJA and its various committees allows members to support the work of the Civil Grand Jury by education and recruitment to the Grand Jury and by following up on the reports of the Grand Jury.
MCCGJA is governed by it Bylaws, last revised August 12, 2014.
COVID-19: Due to the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus regulations, meetings and social gatherings are prohibited until further notice. We are developing procedures for replacing meetings and other events.
UPDATE: The Court has decided to extend the current Grand Jury until and including September 30, 2020 and delay impaneling the 20/21 Grand Jury until after that time or until a different time as circumstances warrant.
