Dikastes (, pl. δικασταί) was a legal office in
ancient Greece that signified, in the broadest sense, a judge or juror, but more particularly denotes the
Attic functionary of the
democratic period, who, with his colleagues, was
constitutionally empowered to try to pass judgment upon all causes and questions that the laws and customs of his country found to warrant judicial investigation.
