I've recently received a jury summons and since this is all very new to me I've spoken to a number of people I know, it turns out no one I've spoken to has ever been summoned, leading me to believe it's relatively uncommon. Yet less than a week later, my partner also received a summons to a separate case in a different court.
We're not legally connected (not married or currently living together), the only similarity visible to the government that I can think of is our ages (mid 20's).
Is this just the product of bizarre chance, or does the selection process (UK) involve anything that might cause this?
