Citizens’ grand jury/ common law grand jury / people’s grand jury

Citizens' grand juries (also known as common law grand juries and people's grand juries) are sham juries created primarily by adherents of the sovereign citizen movement, who have a fondness for creating fictitious judicial and governmental entities. Such bogus juries often issue threats, bogus liens or other forms of "paper terrorism." They may also be found as "jural societies," "common law courts," or other names. Independently, some Tea Party activists in the early 2010s also created their own "juries."
