[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

I think we all hear your frustration, but it really doesn't sound like you're disproportionately burdened.  Is it a pain?  Yes, but once every 2 years is pretty standard.  Is it frustrating to have to pay for childcare?  Yes, but everyone with kids does.  Those of us who work full time might want to spend more time with our kids too, but we can't afford the luxury of working part time that you had.  Having to lose that luxury for 2 weeks is hard, I get it, but it sounds like you figured it out.

Did the founding fathers envision you paying out of emergency funds?  Well, honestly, I don't know that the founding fathers envisioned emergency funds.  Even today many people don't have emergency funds at all, and those that don't still go to jury duty.

You need to call and talk to someone.  No one here has found themselves in the situation you're fearing.  Every poster who has responded has said that they were able to pick a new date.  So call, explain that you're pregnant and have a non refundable trip, and see if you can pick a date.  [/quote]

Well put.  And since you are so interested in changing the jury system,
OP, maybe you should take a constitutional law class so you can understand how very important it is. Until then, whining about it being inconvenient every other YEAR is just not that compelling. [/quote]
