1. Total combinations of selecting any 12 people from 26:

\binom{26}{12} = 9657700

2. Combinations of selecting 12 men from 14:

\binom{14}{12} = 91

3. The probability that the jury is all male:

\frac{\binom{14}{12}}{\binom{26}{12}} = \frac{91}{9657700} \approx 9.42 \times 10^{-6}

Answer: \frac{91}{9657700} \approx 9.42 \times 10^{-6}
