Answer: A jury.

Explanation: The Greeks, Romans, and Judeo-Christians had a variety of court procedures through out their thousand year old history.

However they all established a jury for judging which was thought to be less corruptible to bribes since it's a larger group and have more balanced opinions on review since it's a mix of different opinions.

This contributed to the idea of a jury deciding criminal trials in U.S law because it's more fair.
