Juries were formed to adjudicate in legal cases. There were no judges or lawyers - each of the accuser and accused had to state their case and the jury decided on guilt or innocence. If guilty, the jury also decided on punishment. Both sides proposed a punishment and the jury picked one or the other - no in betweens. A remarkably fair system, compared with the deviousness of today's courts. As a jury was typically 500 citizens chosen at random, it was effectively an opinion poll of the citizenry.
