Thanks, in large part, to Jennifer Feld of our Tampa office, the 6th Judicial Circuit will soon have a lactation room. It all started with an article Jennifer wrote for the Daily Business Review (DBR) about her experiences as a new mother in trial. “A New Mother’s Guide to Pumping During a Jury Trial” was featured in DBR’s August 2018 publication and sparked tremendous interest. Since then, Jennifer co-authored an article for the St. Petersburg Bar Association’s Paraclete (see page 12) and appeared on Fox 13 News to talk about the importance of having dedicated spaces for new mothers in the legal profession, as well as visitors, such as jurors to the courthouse.
Jennifer has become a pioneer for lactation room awareness, and we are so proud of her going public with her experiences to bring much needed attention to this very important topic.
