Executive Summary J.A.I.L. is a proposed amendment to the California Constitution as a check against judicial misconduct and abuse of power.
The initiative creates three statewide Special Grand Juries in California for the sole purpose of investigating complaints against judges. The Special Grand Juries will have the power to sanction judges by levying fines and forfeitures against them; and for third-time offenses, removal from the bench. The Special Grand Juries will also have the power to indict judges and subject them to criminal proceedings before special trial juries who may sentence as well as convict the offending judge.
