What exactly constitutes a work of necessity? I understand that works of mercy and necessity are exceptions to the general command against labor on the Sabbath. While works of mercy seem fairly straightforward, I’m having more difficulty understanding what falls within the works of necessity exception.
I’m particularly interested in when, if ever, work for an employer could be a work of necessity. I’m a new lawyer. If a major trial or hearing is scheduled for a Monday, is preparation for said hearing ever a work of necessity?
I have not been asked to work on a Sunday yet, but I anticipate that this will happen at some point and I’d like to be prepared with the answer. Thanks!
