Perusing through the brochures handed out at jury duty, I found the following informative facts:
1.5 million jurors are impaneled for service each year throughout the USA.
148,558 jury trials are conducted annually by state courts nationwide.
5,940 jury trials are conducted each year by federal courts.
10,000+ jury trials are conducted by New York state courts.
37.6% of Americans are likely to be impaneled as trial jurors over their lifetime.
it's good to see this information in your post, i was looking the same but there was not any proper resource, thanx now i have the link which i was looking for my research.
