Excerpt from Problems of the Roman Criminal Law, Vol. 2 of 2
Criminal charges in Cicero's time were tried almost exclusively by courts which consisted of a bench of jurymen presided over by a magistrate. This jury system, in which the criminal justice of the Roman Republic culminates, was gradually built up, borrowing certain elements from each of the forms of procedure which had gone before it. This proposition will be illustrated in detail in the following pages, and I hope to be able at the end of the next chapter to place it in a sufficiently clear light.
