On Sunday, August 25 from 5:15 to 7:15pm in the Blanchard Room of the Stephens Branch Library, 315 E. 14th St. in Davis, the Vanguard Court Watch Council of Yolo County (VCWCYC) is inviting the public to come forward to express their concerns about the judicial system, provide testimony and give personal accounts of contemporary cases in the Yolo County Court system.
Citizens are encouraged to come to listen to topics of concern raised by invited guests and participate themselves by sharing their experiences with the council and the public.
The Court Watch Council is comprised of twelve members, including eight representatives from Woodland, Davis and West Sacramento, and advisors that include retired Supreme Court Justice Cruz Reynoso, Sacramento State University Professor James Hernandez, a gang expert who testified at the Gang Injunction Trial, and Attorney Anthony Palik.
The Vanguard Court Watch, founded in 2010, is a nonprofit organization that researches and reports on legal issues in Yolo County. It sends college interns to monitor court cases and “shine the light of scrutiny on a system often hidden from the public.
The Vanguard Court Watch Council will host public meetings at various locations in Yolo County. Goals include identifying court cases to track, police incidents to be investigated and cases involving alleged discrimination or prejudice.
