Codex Judica

The Codex Judica is a collection of laws and legal principles that formed part of the Byzantine Empire's legal tradition. Compiled during the reign of Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century, it aimed to clarify and consolidate centuries of Roman law. This codex included statutes, legal interpretations, and discussions on various legal issues, serving as a foundation for law in various European countries. Its influence is still seen today, as many modern legal systems trace their roots back to Justinian's codification efforts, which emphasized order, justice, and the role of law in society.
