Each city-state had its own laws and customs. Civil matters were enforced by heads of families, both within the families and between families.

Political and property laws were the responsibility of a magistrate and a council. Punishments ranged from banishment and restriction of rights to execution.

In Athens enforcement of their decisions was undertaken by a group known as The Ten, who arranged the whippings and executions ordered. Other cities had similar arrangements.
