Pandects

The Pandects, also known as the Digest, are a comprehensive collection of Roman law compiled in the 6th century under Emperor Justinian. They gather and organize legal writings, opinions, and case law from Roman jurists to serve as a reference for legal principles and decision-making. Essentially, the Pandects are an extensive legal blueprint that influenced the development of modern civil law systems. They are valued for their systematic approach to law, helping preserve and transmit Roman legal thought through centuries.
