Was this for federal or county? I live in Montco and didn’t have any issues getting out of county jury duty! But this is federal court and it’s an hour by train each way for me!

What! I was told that because I’m married and partially employed/unemployed right now (maternity leave) that I have no excuse!

Here’s a synopsis:
Me: hey I have a newborn that I’m nursing and no childcare.
Ejuror: you can pump here.
M: is there childcare?
Ej: no, find your own.
M: here’s what it says on the court’s website about not having childcare.
Ej: that doesn’t apply to you. Being single and unemployed does not count for exemption.
M: what? I’m asking to be excused because I’m breastfeeding a baby?
And that’s where I’m at so far

I’m honestly baffled by the email conversation I had. You would think I’m trying to get out of it for a stubbed toe with the responses I got from them!

I completely agree!! I’ve always wanted to do it! I would have been pumped before having this baby!

If I’m required to go, I will just have to bring the baby. It will be a pain in the ass, but I’m going to do what I have to do to avoid a fine.

Was this for county or federal court? I plan to call tomorrow.
