The Athenians tried something like that. I don’t know enough about ancient greek history to say how effective it was.
They randomly selected from citizens, but not everyone in the city was a citizen. The qualifications for citizenship (essentially wealthy landowner) made it relatively likely that random citizens would have the skill to legislate.
