Humboldt County Civil Grand Jury Needs More Applicants
This is a press release from the Humboldt County Civil Grand Jury:
WE STILL NEED MORE RESIDENTS WILLING TO SERVE ON THE 2026/2027 HUMBOLDT COUNTY CIVIL GRAND JURY. PLEASE APPLY AND HELP SERVE YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY’S INTERESTS!
The Humboldt Superior Court empanels 19 citizens to act as an independent body of the judicial system each fiscal year (term: July 1-June 30). The Court also encourages citizens to apply and be considered to serve as alternates if and when vacancies occur during the term of service. The Court accepts applications from citizens representing a broad cross-section of the Humboldt County community. The Civil Grand Jury is currently meeting in-person one day a week and via Zoom one day a week (their weekly meeting schedule and time commitment may vary from 10-30 hours).
The primary work of the civil grand jury is to investigate and review citizen complaints concerning the operations of city and county government as well as other tax supported and non-profit agencies and districts. Based on these reviews, the civil grand jury publishes its findings and reports recommending constructive actions to improve the quality and effectiveness of our local government. The civil grand jury does not consider criminal indictments.
For more information and the application process, please visit the Court’s web site at: https://www.humboldt.courts.ca.gov/general-information/jury-services/civil-grand-jury or, contact Court Administration at (707)269-1204 with any questions you may have.
You may also download, complete, and email a Civil Grand Jury Questionnaire to: [email protected] or we can email you an application. Thank you for your interest in serving your local community!

Sure thing. Thirty hours a week for no pay, and nothing the grand jury recommends ever gets fixed, so say it for real like this instead. Wanted: Citizens who have enough money and time to waste 30 hours a week for a year doing something which most areas treasure and value, but Humboldt does not.
Our local government has shown no real interest in quality or effectiveness, or in grand juries’ prior recommendations and reports, but is going through the annual obligatory lip service in search of a few new suckers.
Oh yeah- what’s the pay? Oh- nothing?! The fat cats are making way more salary than they deserve but for this they can’t even pony up $20/hour?! So…only well-off people need apply I see, I see. Or retired and bored people. That’s okay- they just make a bunch of recommendations that the overpaid overlords then overlook anyways….
[edit] nobody’s paying you to prop up the Internet either so don’t poo poo this opportunity for citizens to participate in government.
There’s a lot of opinionated folks that sit up here in the comment sections with clearly plenty of time on their hands given the many many hours of “debating” folks are participating in here on a daily basis.
This is a great opportunity for them to actually participate in government rather than hold down a what is perceived by a lot of other folks here as a really depressing peanut gallery.
Let’s have an election! Nominate your candidates from among RHBB Commenters.
Mr. Clark, of course. He seems to have an engineering background. It would behoove him to get out from behind his own hard drive and get back into functional logic
Yabut can see both sides of the coin so clearly he’s slip sliding away down his own slippery slope. It would be a much better use of his brain power.
I’m still too young. I’ve got a few more years of tight schedule.
It’s long been my dream to get to poke around with the grand jury.
It’s not Mr. Clark whose dragging comments down. As much as his comments might offend, he doesn’t seem to personally call out and insult individual commenters without so much as a vague idea to excuse it. That seem a liberal technique of a certain kind of poster. Even, when it is against the owner’s own rules, such soap opera script writers are given a pass if their opinions are acceptably selective in their nastiness.
Oh well comments on here are too time consuming, being already whittled down, and will soon either disappear or commenters will be vetted for their ability to stay inside the approved echo chamber. There is an odor of regime change in the wind at RHBB.
Shame on you.
