🎉 Juror Appreciation Week | May 11–15, 2026 🎉  The San Joaquin County Superior Court proudly celebrates Juror Appreciation Week as we recognize the community members who step forward to serve.  In 1998, the California Legislature designated the second full week of May to honor residents who serve on juries — and we are proud to continue that tradition.  Jurors set aside work, family time, and daily responsibilities to fulfill one of the most important civic duties in our democracy. Their commitment ensures fair and impartial trials and helps maintain public trust in the justice system.  To every juror who answered the call — thank you for your service. 👏⚖️  Learn more about jury service in San Joaquin County:  🔗 sjcourts.org/divisions/jury…  #JurorAppreciationWeek #JuryService #CivicDuty #SanJoaquinCountyCourts #AccessToJustice

Public Service Week 💙 This week, we’re proud to recognize the people behind the work — our court professionals who show up every day with purpose, compassion, and dedication. We asked our team a simple question: Why do you serve? Their answers say it all: ✨ “I serve so I can communicate with the public in a way that’s easy to understand.” ✨ “Public trust in the justice system depends on the work we do every day.” ✨ “You can see the direct impact of what we do — I once received help myself, and this is how I give back.” ✨ “If it’s not for me, it’s for someone’s son, mother, or father.” ✨ “I serve because I want to change the way people see court employees.” ✨ “For over 30 years, I’ve been proud to be the help people need.” ✨ “I serve to ensure everyone has access to justice, no matter why they come to court.” Every interaction matters. Every role matters. And together, that commitment to fairness, integrity, and service helps strengthen public trust in the justice system. #PublicServiceWeek #AccessToJustice #CourtProud #PublicService #CommunityFirst
