Answer 1
No, according to our tradition it is not. Hebrew law was given by God, as stated in the Torah many times.
It is important to remember that Hebrew law is not only that which is in the Torah. It was accompanied by the Oral Law, which was put in writing 1500 years ago and may be found in the Talmud.
Interestingly, it has been pointed out through extensive research that the parallels which do exist between the Torah and Hammurabi are because the Code of Hammurabi was itself based upon the Seven Noahide Laws, a tradition to which the Torah hints in passing. This research may be seen in the book Universal Jewish History, by Philip Biberfeld, volume 1, pages 129-156.
Answer 2
While there are certainly similarities in the Hebrew Legal Code and the Code of Hammurabi, such as the famous "eye for an eye" law of retribution, most of the laws covered in either scripture are quite divergent from the other, especially where religious requirements are discussed. If the Hebrew Bible was composed in Babylon at around 550 BCE like Western Scholarship claims, the Code of Hammurabi may have had some influence, but was largely irrelevant as it defined a completely different (and by that time defunct) legal system.
