In a study in Alameda County, California, researchers compared the demographic characteristics of members of grand juries to determine how closely these juries reflected the population of the county. If the juries were selected randomly or impartially, then the characteristics of the jurors should closely match those of the larger county; however, if attorneys were tilting the jury selection process, then the jurors' characteristics would be quite different from the county. (figures taken from UCLA Law Review, vol 20, 1973 - as shown at: https://www.stat.ucla.edu/cases/jury/)

Age         Country-Wide %    # of Jurors

21-40                 42                      5

41-50                 23                      9

51-60                 16                     19

>61                    19                     33

Total                100                     62
