Title: Breastfeeding and Jury Duty: State Laws, Court Rules, and Related Issues
Authors: Douglas Reid Weimer, American Law Division 
Abstract: The increasing popularity of breastfeeding has focused attention on how the law facilitates or discourages the practice. One issue that has arisen involves breastfeeding mothers and jury duty, and whether a breastfeeding mother may receive an excuse or deferral from compulsory jury duty. At the present time there is no federal legislation on the subject, although Congress has considered and adopted other legislation concerning certain breastfeeding issues.
