When it comes to Greeks, they were the first to use a system similar to that "jury of peers" which is used in the modern courts. Although in much larger numbers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dikast They were also the first to outline the basics of the laws of commerce and contract. Not mentioning the first state to have banned debt slavery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seisachthei... Im pretty sure that should help you...
