1June2017 Luncheon Photos
On June 1, 2017 approximately 49 GJAOC members and guests attended a luncheon where the Honorable Jeannie M. Joseph was our speaker. She gave a talk entitled: “Federal Grand Jury vs. The State Grand Jury”. We learned a lot of interesting facts about the Federal Grand Jury system that stand in contrast to the California Grand Jury system. For example: Federal Grand Juries are not comprised of volunteers. Their panels are made up of voters who have received a jury summons.
At the same event, the GJAOC bid farewell to our board member and friend, Helen Alberts, most recently our membership coordinator. Below are some photos from the event.

1890 OC Grand Jury Final Report
In lieu of a 2Q17 Newsletter, we proudly reproduce a part of the results of an effort of the Grand Jurors’ Association of Orange County in 1988. At that time in recognition of the 100th anniversary of the founding of Orange County, the organization undertook to re-create the lost, final report of the 1st Orange County Grand Jury of 1890 through research with local historians, newspaper archives and other resources. The result is a fascinating look into an Orange County of the past. We owe a debt of gratitude to the GJAOC members of 29 years ago for this valuable contribution to the history of Orange County. Just click the here to go back in time…
(For those interested in reading the full 38 page reproduced 1890 report, the GJAOC currently has 4 physical copies for review, in addition to the OC Law Library which has one copy).
