This questionnaire concerns your ability to serve as a GRAND JUROR (not a trial juror) on the Madera County Grand Jury.  Persons selected will serve for a period of ONE FISCAL YEAR.

TIME COMMITMENT: Grand Jurors are expected to spend approximately 20-25 hours of service per week, depending on the duties demanded by the committee they are assigned to during their year of service.  Temporary absence for normal periods of vacation is permissible, but excessively prolonged or repeated absences would interfere with the functioning of the Grand Jury.  Enclosed is a brief description of duties for the 19 members selected as Grand Jurors.

This questionnaire is to assist the Supervising Grand Jury Judge of the Madera Superior Court, in compiling a list of nominees which fairly represents a cross-section of our community.  Some questions may appear personal to you; however, they are necessary in ensuring that the group which is nominated from each district represents various age groups, economic, social and ethnic backgrounds.
