I think the judges were made up of mostly Mahjarrat and humans. I kind of have to disagree with the Cthonian theory because while the cthonians can be remarkably smart, do you think that Hostilius would send his smartest and most intelligent underlings, when he had the ability to actually breed cthonians that only specialized in war. That would be the equivalent of sending Albert Einstein into battle when you can send G. I. Joe. It just wouldn't be a smart thing for a leader to do.

Laws were enforced by the church, which was the same thing as the civil bureaucracy. By the late empire Zaros trusted its running to the human leaders and Azzanadra, but even Azzanadra could only personally supervise a tiny fraction of it.
Like any human institution, I'm sure corruption and inefficiency were tremendous.
This to me suggest that the laws were interpreted by the humans, thematically it kind of makes sense. Humans originate from a cold and barren planet, and yes while the planet was devoid of magic, just look at their history with magic. The first spells V taught them was to do with water and air. Water as you know lies in the same branch as ice magic. The former arch mage of the wizard tower specialized in water magic. Icyene represent the ice side of the nihls, could maybe Saradomin have taught them a thing or too. The Lunar mages, who are arguably the best mages in all of gielinor live in an icy cold region, so if you care about thematics it makes sense.
Mod Jack mentions Civil Bureaucracy, so i assume they had a jury system, possible those humans that we see Zamorak slaughtering in the comic.
Though just a thought, what if the jury system was rather like power to the player, so instead of a small selection of your peers, it was everyone. There would be no proper trial, all citizens could vote if they wanted too. Thus always pleasing the majority
