The San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury is for a twelve-month period commencing July 1, 2025,
and ending June 30, 2026, and that such service will require the attendance, at a minimum, of two general meetings each month of the entire Grand Jury year in addition to intervening portions of one or two days a week devoted to committee meetings.
The total time requirement can be up to 15 to 20 hours per week. Reasonable vacations are permitted.
I am also aware that I will be expected to participate in a three-day interactive videoconference training sometime between June and August of 2025.
There is a need for good health, no plans for vacation, travel, or business (other than those indicated
in the application) that would prevent one from serving the required amount of time.
