What part of California law mandates accommodations for college jurors?

Postby chika » Mon Jul 16, 2012 1:40 pm

What part(s) of California law mandate that California colleges/universities accommodate students summoned and/or serving on jury duties?

Note: According to: http://www.courts.ca.gov/3953.htm
"...What happens to my job obligations?:
Your employer must allow you time off to serve on a jury. That is the law. The California Labor Code prevents any employer from firing or harassing an employee who is summoned for jury service. School employees and students are protected as well in different parts of the law. However, you must let your employer know well in advance, as soon as you receive your summons."

And nowhere does it say that a university must give you an extension for this.

You don't need a special law. I am a teacher and got called for jury duty during the school year. I contacted the court and requested rescheduling for the summer break. They were more than happy to oblige. A student should be able to successfully do the same thing.
