During the period of the Roman Republic the praetors were the chief justices. They presided over trials for criminal cases. For civil cases they appointed judges, who were not professional like now, and prescribed what sentence to give in case of a lost case. The cases were decided by juries. During the period of rule by emperors the praetors were retained, but the emperors often presided over trials
