Yes. It recaps the laws of the Torah, discussing and bringing their details into focus and rendering final halakhic rulings. ("Halakhic" means "according to Jewish law.")

In addition, the Talmud contains biographical information concerning its Sages, info on Jewish history, morals and ethics, and stories which are intended to convey ethics and/or hidden meanings.
