[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to talk to the people you are working with and they need to accomodate you.  The partner can survive for 20 minutes while you are gone or can take a longer break.

For days at other firms' offices, either get a really good cooler/ice packs or ask to use their fridge.  You can ask reception if you aren't comfortable asking opposing counsel.

But really you just need to get comfortable letting people know that you are pumping and need accomodations.  I found colleagues (and opposing counsel and witnesses) very understanding.  Many of them are parents too.[/quote]

This. At the end of the day while you’re very conscientious to try to solve this problem, it is your employers problem to solve— you have a legal right to reasonable breaks to express milk for your infant. I think dialing in is a good option, and I think if you can do a hands-free pump while you drive to a site and then make it to lunch, one pumping session break of 25 minutes in the afternoon is extremely reasonable.
