Regular Jury Service

As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

Shortly after my 18th Birthday i was selected for Jury Service at a crown court. Six months later i was summonsed again (and elected to serve despite the option not to) on the second jury another juror had also served with me on the first jury AND the judge and advocates were the same. I was then called again aged 20 so what are the chances of being called three times before age 21 and on two of those times meeting another juror called for the second time and having the same judge and same advocates for the prosecution and defense?
