The public has an opportunity to tell of their experiences with the Yolo County judicial system. These are experiences that normally 
are not covered in the newspaper. The Council will take public comment and testimony from invited speakers and then deliberate in 
closed session to determine our course of action.
The Vanguard Court Watch Council (VCWC) is comprised of twelve members including eight 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 testied at the Gang Injunction Trial, and Attorney Anthony Palik.
The Vanguard Court Watch puts college interns into the courthouse to monitor court cases and report to the public in order to shine 
the light of scrutiny on a system often hidden from the public. 
Every week, 8 to 10 interns go into the court house to monitor cases in Yolo County. It presents the students, many of whom go on 
to law school with a rather unique opportunity to view live cases.
The Vanguard Court Watch Council will hold public meetings every fourth Sunday of the month at various locations in Yolo County 
to allow the public to come forward and share their stories and experiences.
Goals of Court Watch Council include: identication of problematic court cases to track; identication of alleged police incidents in 
Yolo County to potentially be investigated, and the identication of cases involving alleged discrimination or prejudice within Yolo 
County.
