Grand Jury Labs
LiveOverview
California's 58 civil grand juries are a unique form of citizen oversight — ordinary residents investigating county government and publishing public reports. UnGovr builds tools to make this system more effective, more accessible, and better connected across county lines.
This initiative spans several subprojects, from AI-powered compliance checking to cross-county thematic analysis and digitizing hard-to-find internal oversight documents.
