It’s a shame
you’ve reached this point! Obviously, this Court does NOT consider family
caregiving a “legitimate” reason for jury duty postponement! Try to hire

suffer. (As a last resort, you might even consider moving out of the court’s
district!)

this NEVER happens again to children and other vulnerable citizens in your
state.
