Commitment/Compensation

The complex, diverse responsibilities of grand jurors make it necessary to give a serious commitment to the time requirements. The Grand Jury term is one year, from July 1 through June 30. The usual work week is four to five days. Additionally, attendance at some evening and weekend meetings may be required.

Grand jurors are provided with meeting facilities and adjacent parking. The current stipend, set by the O.C. Board of Supervisors, for each day’s attendance is $50 per day for up to five days per week. Reimbursement for mileage to and from meetings is allowed at the regular county rate.
