I just received my first notice in the mail and report at the end of the month. I always hear about how people dread receiving the summons but I don't think it sounds so bad. Has anyone else ever had it? Anyone want to share their experience? I'm also curious about breaks in the day so I can pump, although I realize that may be more localized for each county.

As for the breastfeeding issue, I know that the judge in this case was willing to dismiss almost anyone who had a hardship since it was going to be a six week trial. There were two women who were dismissed because they were breastfeeding and even more who were dismissed because they did not think they could find childcare.

@RedSaffron -- I commented on FB last summer about how I had never been called (on a friend's post). I received my juror questionnaire 2 weeks later and was summoned 6 weeks after that.
Big Brother is definitely watching.
But yes, I actually talked about it here. I was summoned last year when I was 5 months pregnant. Ultimately, I wouldn't have minded serving, but I was excused during the first round of jury selection. For me, there was a chance to go up and talk to the judge about any special circumstances. But I agree with others, it's worth calling to find out if you can postpone. The thing for me was that I was afraid that the timing would be worse if I postponed, so I just got it over with.
