Resolve for a commission to review, replace, and eliminate the Grand Jury System

This resolution establishes a commission to review Massachusetts' grand jury system, which has faced longstanding questions about fairness and utility, particularly after similar systems were phased out in other jurisdictions. The commission - comprising law school deans, legal professionals, judicial representatives, and community stakeholders - will hold public hearings across five locations and submit recommendations within 24 months. The resolution does not change current law but initiates a formal review process to evaluate potential reforms or replacements.
