He compiled and re-wrote most of the existing Roman civil laws and jurisprudence, and also incorporated - and re-wrote - much of the existing ecclesiastical canon law. Other sources were the existing 'senatorial consults', imperial decrees and legal opinions that had over time been written by important lawyers.

The man actually overseeing the compiling and writing of the resulting Codex Justinianus was the Roman Questor, Flavius Tribonianus.
