This is a simple problem. You only have to know if you will use permutation or combination. But, since position in a sequence does not matter here -- like who comes first or second -- we shall use combination.
25C12=+25%21%2F%28%2825-12%29%21%2812%21%29%29+=+5%2C200%2C300+
You can choose a jury in 5,200,300 ways.
