About
“The grand jury is a constitutional fixture in its own right.” — Justice Antonin Scalia, U.S. Supreme Court
The Grand Jury Civic Initiative™ (GJCI) is a civic education program created to restore an essential part of American self-governance that has been largely forgotten in modern education.
In the early days of our republic, citizens were expected not only to know their rights, but to take part in the work of justice and community oversight. The grand jury was one of the ways ordinary people served as a voice of the community—protecting liberty, encouraging accountability, and helping uphold the rule of law.
Over time, civic education shifted away from teaching these practical responsibilities and toward general lessons about government structure. As a result, generations of Americans have grown up without understanding how local self-governance was meant to function.
GJCI™ exists to restore that lost civic knowledge.
Through structured and accessible education, participants learn the historical and constitutional role of the grand jury and the importance of informed citizenship. This initiative is educational and nonpartisan, designed for everyday Americans who wish to better understand their civic role and strengthen their communities in a lawful and constructive way.
At its heart, GJCI™ is about restoration—recovering timeless principles that still matter today. By reconnecting citizens with their foundational role in self-government, we hope to inspire renewed responsibility, understanding, and respect for the freedoms entrusted to each generation.
Our mission is simple:
To restore civic knowledge and encourage responsible self-governance through education grounded in America’s founding principles.
