Mission Statement
The Mission Statement of the San Mateo County Association of Grand Jurors is to enhance the public awareness and to promote the effectiveness of the grand jury system in California, more specifically, the grand jury in San Mateo County. Through the experiences, efforts, and resources provided by former San Mateo County Grand Jurors, implementation of this Mission is primarily to be achieved through continuing pursuit of certain enduring GOALS. These include:
(A) Educating the public on the importance of maintaining and improving the effectiveness of the Grand Jury System especially in San Mateo County.
(B) Initiating and monitoring California State legislation as well as local government activities consistent with SMCAGJ's Mission.
(C) Cooperating with the County and State Associations of former grand jurors and other organizations in fulfilling SMCAGJ's Mission.
(D) Preparing and disseminating newsletters, publications, informative and educational materials as well as maintaining a SMCAGJ website and speaker's bureau in furtherance of its Mission and the above stated goals.
The San Mateo County Association of Grand Jurors (SMCAGJ) was founded by former San Mateo Civil Grand Jurors in 1982. Several former grand jurors of the California Grand Juror's Association (www.cgja.org) have assisted in the formulation of several topics available on this website.
