I totally understand the not being able to find childcare thing. I know that if I'm ever called to jury duty, it will be pretty difficult for me to find childcare. And at this point, I would have to bring along my one month old as she is exclusively breastfed. I feel really badly for that mom.

Maybe if the courts are going to demand that full-time parents be jururs, then they need to provide daycare at the courthouse.

slb- agreed. I hate spam.

just another mommmy- If you called in or something and told them that you are exclusively breastfeeding your infant and cannot be separated from your baby, I wonder how the reaction would be?
The article even said that the judge wasn't of authority to do what he tried to do. Sounds like another a-hole trying to leverage power he doesn't have.

at the courthouse in my city, there is a daycare for moms and dads who don't have childcare.

I don't know about Michigan but here in Texas if you are the sole care provider for children under school age like a sahm or sahd you are automatically exempt from jury duty. You just have to send back a card they send you stating that or call the clerks office.
