The Grand Jury Association, was organized in Cleveland in 1947 by Judge Samuel Silbert and Bell Greve for the purpose of educating the public on the importance of jury service and the Grand Jury System. It also sought to educate the public on law enforcement problems, crime prevention, delinquency and the rehabilitation of criminals. In order to accomplish this the organization sponsored an eight week-long crime institute in the spring of each year. The group also supplied a "Handbook For Jurors" to individuals called to serve on the Grand Jury of Cuyahoga County. They also maintained a file on all of the reports given by the Foremen of the county's Grand Juries (from l925). They also sponsored the Foremen's Council which was composed of former Cuyahoga County Grand Jury foremen. The organization ceased to function in l978.
