[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]D.C. trial lawyer here -- I can't speak to proposals for reform, but I'm pretty sure that if you call the jury office now and tell them you have non-refundable plane tickets, you can defer and select a new date. (It will be up to you whether you think its worse to defer when you have an infant. A judge won't usually excuse jurors for child care issues.) But at least you will know without having to cancel your vacation or wait until the last minute. Good luck![/quote] Not sure this is accurate. I also receive a notice for jury duty when my DD was 2 weeks old. The court offers daycare for children 24 months and up. I called and explained that I had given birth 2 weeks prior and was deferred for two years. Call them. Tell them you are pregnant and ask them if you can defer. The woman I spoke with was very nice.[/quote]
