Post #156,002 by Meerkat 5/19/04 7:50:04 PM Reply	Alright, smart- arse! :) Permit me, then, to expand my hypothesis beyond that which is normally allowed in the limited space of a subject line... One would think that a mother who is still breast-feeding a baby would be exempt from jury duty. This would be due to the need for the baby to be regularly fed, and the difficulty in sorting out the logistics of expressing, storing, transporting, etc. OK, hope that's clear enough now ;) As for your other comment, you (probably) won't catch me hanging around no skanky man-boob man, man! :) Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

I demand a little respect!" T-shirt. Funnily enough, he wasn't picked for the jury :) Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

She went to the court office and brought the birth certificate and a letter from our pedeatrician who certified she still breastfeeding the baby. It was sufficient to postpone the duty till next 2 years.

Post #156,049 by admin 5/20/04 10:57:57 AM Reply	Did she request specific accomodations? Or just in general? The thing is, my wife doesn't mind serving as long as they let her keep the baby with. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
Post #156,072 by Arkadiy 5/20/04 1:29:53 PM Reply	OK, just talked to her... She first spoke to a "deputy comissioner of the jurors". She was told that there is no specific provision for nursing, but she should ask to speak to the judge before answering the selection questions. She told the judge that she is happy to serve, but she has a "logistical issue": she needs to be allowed to pump periodically (My boss was working at the time, so breastfeeding as such was not an issue - it was all done through a pump. If your wife is nursing, her conversation will be different). At that point the judge excused her. -- Buy high, sell sober.
