May 11th-15th is officially “Juror Appreciation Week” in California.  This annual recognition during the second full week of May was established by the legislature in 1998 and serves to honor those citizens who take the time to participate in and protect the invaluable right of free citizens to a jury of their peers.

The state's Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) has compiled the rather impressive statistics showing that many Californians have taken this duty seriously - a bright spot in the often apathetic trends on civic participation.

California Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse (CALA) applauds this recognition and encourages every eligible citizen to take the time to uphold our enviable justice system. Major kudos to all those who have stepped up to serve and been an integral part of maintaining our precious liberty!
