Community Service?
hello. Ok, the judge gave me community service (CalTrans clean up) but i have been going to school full time and work full time (seven days a week!) I had that schedule all summer, and it is the same this fall. If I haven't finished my community service by the reporting date (it doesn't have to be finished, but it is like a progress report) will the judge like add more time to my community service or like throw me in jail or something for not completing any days? Would I be able to show him my work and school schedule as proof of me not being able to complete any days? I am not trying to blow off my community service, but I have not been able to get any time off from work or school. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure he realizes you are trying to better yourself, but you will need to show good progress if you want a continuance.
Judges do have administrative assistants, call his office and let them know where you are at right now, they can probably let you know if it is acceptable or not.
You may want to consider taking a day off work. It will show good faith to the judge, and is a lot cheaper than getting put back in jail!
can you buy your caltran hours?
some states allow you to pay a fee per hour in lieu of the work.
Cheers
don't do the crime if you can't do the time !
