Jewish Court of law was also known as Sanhedrin. It was the supreme council of Israel. During its existence, it was the supreme court and legislative body in matters of Torah law. Sanhedrin's job was to Interpret Oral Torah. There were 71 judges in Sanhedrin. Moses was also a member. The Sanhedrin could not render judgment unless the entire strength was present. The Leading sage was appointed the head of Sanhedrin.
