How does the shut down effect my wife's Federal Grand Jury? Are they hearing cases?

1. I would think so, but I don't think she'll get paid

til the govt is running again.

[winter is coming]

2. She should call whatever number she usually calls to see if she has to serve.

If she doesn't have one, there's probably a website for the court/courthouse where she's supposed to go, and their status and/or contact numbers should be available.

3. Federal courts will stay open during shutdown.

Those called for jury duty are still expected to show up. However, if the shutdown continues past the 15th, their payments might be delayed.

In the event of a government shutdown on October 1, 2013, the federal Judiciary will remain open for business for approximately 10 business days. On or around October 15, 2013, the Judiciary will reassess its situation and provide further guidance. All proceedings and deadlines remain in effect as scheduled, unless otherwise advised. Case Management/Electronic Case Files (CM/ECF) will remain in operation for the electronic filing of documents with courts.

[KentuckyWoman]

12. LOL - Doesn't hurt to hope.

Show up at the time required. They'll tell her to go home.

[diabeticman]

13. I drive her down. She doesn't do Pittsburgh traffic.

[KentuckyWoman]

16. We have that here too.

My husband got called for federal grand jury..... 18 months a week each month. It was pretty tough logistics because he is only safe to drive near home.

I knew from reading you had similar issues which I guess is why I LOL. Gotta find whatever small blessings you can.

17. She's fine on I-79 BUT when it comes to I-279 and in the city of pittsburgh she freaks.

One bright spot I go down to the town I was born in and lived in until I got married to her and visit.
