Originally, court proceedings were held outdoors, traditionally under a linden tree (where the goddess Freya was believed to reside and offer protection to the community). Four benches were arranged in a square near this tree, on which a traditionally fixed number (7, 9, 12) of jurors (aldermen, well-born men) sat. The accused would stand in the center between four stretched ropes. Opinions differ on whether the name "vierschaar" (court of justice) derives from the square formed by the ropes or refers to the four benches where justice was administered.
