NBR: Jury Duty Whine (Short!)

in February 2012 Moms

I got called for jury duty this week, and while we're still in the selection phase, looks like if I get picked, it'll be 1.5-2wks' of trial... and we're not allowed to eat in the courtroom or leave to go to the bathroom except at designated breaks!

Thankfully, they're letting me bring my water bottle into the courtroom, but man...! This'll be an interesting ~2wks if I get picked after all.

    I'm in the minority b/c I love jury duty. In my experience the breaks are pretty decent. So on the short ones, pee& eat a quick granola bar or cheese stick.

    I've never made it all the way through the selection process because of my job, but I've always thought it would be interesting. I think I would like it!

    When I was called for jury duty, a woman in my group was automatically sent home because she was pregnant and claimed she had doctor's appointments. You may want to ask them about that!

    I got called when I was pregnant with my son. They said we would be going 4 hours at a time with no break at all and would anyone have a problem with that. I was about 6 months pregnant at the time and said there was no way I could go 4 hours without using the bathroom. Both lawyers agreed and said to dismiss me, but the judge said that was ridiculous. The lawyers agreed to throw me out despite what the judge said. Turns out I would have been dismissed a few questions later anyway (based on what the people coming out were talking about).

    Good luck :)
