Contra Costa County Grand Jury Demographics

California Rules of Court

Effective January 1, 2007, rule 10.625 of the California Rules of Court mandated that the jury commissioner or designee collect certain demographic data from prospective regular grand jurors, that this information be maintained in a database, and that an annual summary be made available to the public. The demographic data collected is as follows: age range, gender, ethnicity, occupation, and how the grand juror initially became a candidate (random draw, volunteer appreciation, or nomination by judicial officer).
