Obama to skip jury duty in Chicago suburbs
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. — President Barack Obama will be skipping jury duty after being summoned in Illinois.
A White House official told the Chicago Tribune on Sunday that the president has alerted the court he won’t be able to make it.
Obama was summoned for jury duty at the Bridgeview courthouse in suburban Chicago starting Monday. The summons had arrived at the Obama home on Chicago’s South Side.
With his first State of the Union speech set for Wednesday, Obama has a busy week ahead.
The president is a graduate of Harvard Law School and a former professor at the University of Chicago Law School.
