The examples of early civilizations that contributed to its "laws" are the perhaps best known by placing the unwritten laws into words so that the people of the early civilizations could be treated more fairly, not withstanding the fact that some of the written laws were not fair to everyone.
The two early civilizations that come to mind are the laws of Hammurabi in the first Babylonian Empire. Secondly, as far as ancient civilizations are concerned, perhaps the Twelve Tables of the Roman Republic bring us closer to what may considered "modern laws". Some European nations, as an example have parts of Roman law as the foundation of many of their current day laws.

Is Buddhism a civilization?
Not really - although it is certainly a component of a lot of civilizations. A civilization is an advanced state of intellectual, cultural, and material development in human society, marked by progress in the arts and sciences, the extensive use of record-keeping, including writing, and the appearance of complex political and social institutions. Buddhism doesn't have a unique set of arts or sciences that can be said to belong specifically to Buddhism - rather they are associated with civilizations which have included Buddhism as part of their social and religious structure. Likewise the political and social institutions, while influenced by Buddhism, are specific to the civilizations - and actually differ among the civilizations where Buddhism is common.
