Juror Number {a really big number}

I got a jury duty summons, for the day after Talyn and Kevin get here.

So, I read the fine print--because the large print said there was no way out for me--and got it postponed. I requested the second week of August, but I won't find out until closer to the date what I actually got. I figure if they push it back too far, going into labor at the courthouse will be a good option because I could get a ride to the hospital in a police car, which would probably be better than a taxi.

I thought you could avoid it if you are a stay at home mom for some reason---see if there is a clause on you being the primary care provider for your child. I think that's how I missed it a few times...that and by the time they had it we moved. Yeah, maybe you can request a later date and then be moved by then.
Not like it's horrible to be a juror, it's our civic duty right, then why does it look so bad on "Runaway Jury"? I just know that if it were something huge I would NOT be able to sleep at night...and for you being pregnant you will need to take care of you.

I did jury duty nine months pregnant, and they actually put me on the jury-- I couldn't believe it! Luckily, the case was settled so we didn't have to see it all the way through but the experience was actually really fun.

I'm curious to know - what did the fine print say?

Wow - I think they have been canvasing our area. I have it in a couple weeks. Two of my co-workers who also live locally have had jury duty already.
