Hi All, Up to this point, I've been a "lurker" on LACTNET, prior to taking the LC exam last July and since then. Now I have a question that I hope someone can help me with. I just received notice that I've been called for jury duty at the United States District Court in Boston, MA. I have a 7-wk.-old son whom I'm exclusively breastfeeding and will breastfeed till he weans himself. There is a box on the form I'm to send back under "Grounds for Requesting Excuse" that states "Persons having full time care and custody of their child or children under ten years of age whose health and/or safety would be jeopardized by their absence for jury service." Under a "Remarks" section I must give further details. In addition to my breastfeeding infant, I have 2 children in elementary school and a pre-schooler at home with me. Any suggestions on wording under "Remarks" to ensure that I am excused from this jury duty and is there a way to not be called again until after my child weans (without knowing when that will be.)? Thank you for any suggestions~ *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
