  • A JURY OF OUR PEERS

    Filed at 6:26 am under by dcobranchi

    Pending legislation in PA would allow nursing mothers, home educators, and several other groups to opt out of jury duty. I’m generally in favor of having small children home and no daycare arrangements be a legitimate reason to get out of serving. But I’d encourage home educators to serve if they possibly can. We’re a not insignificant part of the community. IOW, we’re somebody’s peers.

    Given the high level of regulation in PA, I’d prefer the legislators spend their time focusing on other ways to relieve the burden carried by HE’s in the state.

    I had to beg off jury duty. Since I am a home educator, I have no child care available to me. If my children were old enough to stay home alone it may have been different. It wasn’t so much the home educating as the lack of child care.

    Why on earth put home educators in the legislation? What about parents of kids gettting homebound instruction, of kids home on suspension, of kids home sick? Why not simplify it and just say parents who are the primary caregivers during jury hours for children under 18?

    They never pick me, gosh darn it. I’ve been registered to vote for 26 years – called twice – served once.

    Here in CT, I’ve been called 4 times and served once since we moved back at the end of 1999. Three of the calls came in the past two years. I got credit for serving on the first of them, and got tapped again 7 and 8 months later.

    For some reason we’ve tended to get called within six months of moving out of state– by the state we moved from. Each time we’ve moved, it’s happened to one or both of us. I think I’m up to being called 7 times lifetime.
