How did the judicial trial procedure in ancient Greece work?

The situation in Athens is relatively standard. At the end of the Peloponnesian War, Athens compiled written laws, and the Chief Executive must not use unwritten laws under any circumstances. In the absence of laws to follow, the jury court has the right to use unwritten laws and customs, and Athens refuses to refer to precedents to ensure the power of the citizen jury court. The judicial procedure is that private law cases are filed by victims, while public prosecution cases are filed by any citizen who has not been partially deprived of his civil rights. According to different occasions, it will be accepted by the citizens' assembly, the Council or the Chief Executive, and the jury court will be organized to hear it after acceptance. Private law cases shall be tried by the jury court of 20 1 or 40 1 according to the case value. The jury court of 50 1-250 1 is responsible for public litigation according to its importance. On the same day, members of the jury were selected by lottery from 6,000 jurors over the age of 30 who were selected by lottery every year. The Chief Executive elected by lot on the same day presided over the case. After the trial, the indictment was read out, and both the prosecution and the defense spoke according to the specified time. Jurors vote, and both the prosecution and the defense will speak on the punishment. Murder cases are generally tried by the Senate of the God of War Mountain.
