ORGANIZATION, OATH, AND OFFICERS OF
THE FEDERAL GRAND JURY
After the proper number of persons have been qualified as grand jurors, the court will
appoint one of them to be the foreperson, or presiding officer, of the grand jury. A deputy
foreperson will also be appointed, so that he or she can act as presiding officer in the foreperson's
absence.
The foreperson, the deputy foreperson, and the remaining members of the grand jury are
sworn in by the Clerk of the Court. Those persons who do not wish to swear may affirm.
The oath taken by the grand jurors binds them to inquire diligently and objectively into all
federal crimes committed within the district of which they have or may obtain evidence and to
conduct such inquiry without malice, fear, hatred, or other emotion.
After the grand jurors have been sworn, the presiding judge advises the grand jury of its
obligations and how best to perform its duties. This is called the charge to the grand jury. Careful
attention must be paid to the charge, for it and any additional instructions that may be given by the
court contain the rules and directions the grand jury must follow during its term of service.
