Jury duty..

I got the post card in the mail for jury duty when I was 32ish weeks along and on bedrest! I filled it out saying I was on bed rest, high risk pregnancy, etc. I was relieved from that case but now got another summons to appear in December.. Now I'm obviously not pregnant but I am a SAHM so we only have 1 income.. We can't afford day care for the twins.. I also worry about putting them in dag care in the winter since they were preemies.. Finally, I an breastfeeding (mostly pumping) its just not the most ideal time for me to participate as a juror.. Do you think they will let me out if I give those reasons? Has anyone been through something similar?

    I don't know what the rule is in NJ, but in CA you can be excused from service if you are the primary caregiver for a child age 5 and under or a sick or elderly person.  Breastfeeding moms can also be excused.  We're given the option to mail the form back with the boxes marked/info filled out or go online and enter the information.  You usually get excused right away.

    Good luck!

    I don't think you'll have a problem getting out of it.  My mom was a SAHM and got out of jury duty for years because of it.  She never had any issues being excused.  We didn't have other family around to watch us - she may have mentioned that to help her case.

    I think you've got many valid reasons, so I can't see them making you do it at this time.  Good luck!

    I got one last month. It said I had a week to reply with any supporting documents. I sent a letter stating that I was the primary caregiver of twins along with a copy of their birth certificates.

    I was excused.

    If I were you and they made me go, I would show up with my pump! And use it! And don't forget the ice chest to keep it cold!  Wink
