They were usually large numbers of 500 - this was effectively an opinion poll of the citizens. Several juries were selected by lot each day, and cases allotted to them on the spot to avoid pre-bribery. There were no lawyers - accusers and defenders made their own cases, given three hours each, with no rules of evidence, no judges. If they wanted to lie, they harmed their case as in a small community, most people knew what had happened anyway.
At the end, they voted by putting in a yes or no tablet, which were counted. If guilty, each side proposed a penalty - the jury could accept only one or the other, so it made both parties propose realistic and attractive penalties (one person offered to finance a state warship for a year - easily accepted as it saved the cost to the state).
