Why is it necessary for citizens to serve on a jury when called?

The idea behind it is so that people are judged by their peers (people who are similar to them) rather than being judged by law professionals, who might have a skewed idea of what an average person would do. Because we as a society want that right, we established a system that asks everyone to serve as part of a jury, to offer that right to everyone.
