[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just served last month and I will share what I observed.

Women who said they were nursing were excused.

Women who simply said they couldn't serve b/c they were the primary childcare parent were lectured by the judge about civic duty and asked over and over "and so there is no one else who can watch your children?" And also questioned on why the other parent couldn't step up to parent.

Perhaps it was just a picky judge, but yeah, if you can swing it, say you're nursing.  [/quote]

My husband bills by the hour. If he has to not work because I am at jury duty he loses a lot of money. It’s not a reasonable ask. Like a pp said, I’ll go when my kids can watch themselves. Thankfully I’m in VA which seems more lenient. My husband is a lawyer so he never gets called.[/quote]

Then be takes a portion of that money and hires childcare.

It's nice to be rich enough to have choices.  [/quote]

You aren't he's paying for childcare so he can work.  He's the one choosing not to take off work.  You don't have a choice.

Why should I have to pay more than I make as a juror? No thanks.[/quote][/quote]
