Answer:
The United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and France all selected lawyers to investigate and prosecute the Nazi leaders, lawyers to provide legal defense for the accused (as it was important for the Allies not to look like the trials were simply a facade for executing the political leaders), and judges.

The tribunal didn't simply charge Nazi leaders with well-known existing crimes, it also helped to define new international crimes and is responsible for the modern formulation of international criminal law. The three crimes outlined at Nuremberg were war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace.
Nuremberg defined war crimes as 'violations of the laws or customs of war... murder, ill-treatment or deportation to slave labor or for any other purpose of civilian population of or in occupied territory, murder or ill-treatment of prisoners of war or persons on the seas, killing of hostages . . .' etc.
The International Military Tribunal also articulated and prosecuted crimes against humanity, which consisted of 'murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation...or persecutions on political, racial, or religious grounds.'
The judges at Nuremberg also prosecuted Nazi leaders for Germany's violation of crimes against peace, defined as the 'planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties. . .'
