Now that Elizabeth Baldwin is back from her New England vacation, I have a
question I've been saving for her or any others who may have knowledge in
this area.  Is there anything already written up that a breastfeeding
mother can share with a judge who tells her, "We all have excuses why jury
duty is inconvenient.  You won't be excused the next time."  She was told
this a year ago, when she had a nursing 1 year old.  Now she has a nursing
2 year old who protests separation from her, and she dreads being recalled.
 She was first called when the baby was 1 week old, so she has been excused
twice and the judge said she would be recalled in a year (around now).  I
have read the brief articles on this topic in Leaven, Vol 30, no.5:76,
Sept-Oct 1994 and in New Beginnings, Vol 12, no 3:74, May-June 1995.  I
just wondered if any statement specifically to judges on this topic is
already written up, or if I/we in Wisconsin should develop one of our own.

tackle this if it has already been done, but thinking it would be helpful
to lots of people who need it in a hurry when the call comes)
