Thank you for the question, Jim!
I take that you are asking about the process to re-constitute the Common Law Grand Jury in a County. The step to re-constitute the Common Law Grand Jury is called the 'Election' where, by public notice, the people gather to determine if we should re-establish, for the purpose of returning Justice to our judicial and political processes, a Common Law Grand Jury in North Carolina. Witness to this 'Election' sign an 'Affidavit' affirming the process was conducted justly. A Declaration to ordain and establish this Grand Jury principled upon Justice , Honor and Grace for a perpetual administration of trust on behalf of the people is also witnessed by people of the County.
The next step in the process is to restore our rightful authority as the 'fourth branch' of government. This will proceed after a number of counties re-constitute their Grand Juries as this process is contingent upon a critical number of informed people to promote and support it's purpose.
Duty of the Grand Jury - If anyone’s unalienable rights have been violated, or removed, without a legal sentence of their peers, from their lands, home, liberties or lawful right, we [the twenty-five] shall straightway restore them. And if a dispute shall arise concerning this matter it shall be settled according to the judgment of the twenty-five Grand Jurors, the sureties of the peace. [MAGNA CARTA, JUNE 15, A.D. 1215, 52.]
We the people have been providentially provided legal recourse to address the criminal conduct of persons themselves entrusted to dispense justice.
In the Supreme Court case of United States v. Williams, 112 S.Ct. 1735, 504 U.S. 36, 118 L.Ed.2d 352 (1992), Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, confirmed that the American grand jury is neither part of the judicial, executive nor legislative branches of government, but instead belongs to the people. It is in effect a fourth branch of government "governed" and administered to directly by and on behalf of the American people, and its authority emanates from the Bill of Rights.
Thus, citizens have the unbridled right to empanel their own grand juries and present "True Bills" of indictment to a court, which is then required to commence a criminal proceeding. Our Founding Fathers presciently thereby created a "buffer" the people may rely upon for justice, when public officials, including judges, criminally violate the law. 112 S.Ct. 1735 504 U.S. 36 118 L.Ed.2d 352 UNITED STATES, Petitioner
