I apparently won't get called to serve again for seven years or so? I want to believe that your mother in law would not be subject to the juror march, that somebody would make some sort of an accommodation to assist her. The people were extremely accommodating with me when they saw my condition.

Troubling the senior citizens especially who have mobility issues doesn't sound good.

They can be excused with a doctor's permission. While it is an inconvenience, usually there is plenty of time to get the paperwork in order. <br />I served once many years ago. A woman was suing the Courthouse because she fell going up the steps to do some business there. I learned a lot about the legal system during those two days. Our foreman was an 80 years old former businessman from the area. He was as bright as a new penny and led us to a informed decision. In our area, jurors are not chosen weekly, but for a period of six months and can be called anytime during that time.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05192816821892108991noreply@blogger.com
