Well, I'm going out on a limb, but here it goes...
While I know we would all like this mom's issue to be about
breastfeeding, it isn't.  It is very difficult (and maybe unrealistic) in
the US to claim breastfeeding is an issue at the age of 2.

However, this appears to be about a mother who is the primary caregiver
for 2 children.  She has no family close by, her husband is on the
road/out of town for work and they are not wealthy people who can just
hire a babysitter/nanny at a moment's notice.  A clerk of jurors does not
have the authority to tell a mother to leave her children to serve jury
duty.  A judge is also off base by ordering a mother to serve jury duty
and neglect her children.  We all know that if she left them alone she
would be charged with neglect.

Hopefully, this will turn out in the mother's favor.  I  believe, IMNSHO,
 that the real issue is lack of childcare and realistic expectations of
mothers, not breastfeeding.
