It was the Ottoman
The Code of Ur-Nammu is the oldest known surviving law code. It comes from the Sumerian city-state in ancient Mesopotamia, in modern southern Iraq. It is inscribed on tablets, in the Sumerian language. It dates to c. 2100-2050 BC. It is three centuries older than the famous Code of Hammurabi. It was remarkably advanced, for that age because it institutes fines of monetary compensation for bodily damage, instead of the 'eye for an eye') principle which was common in antiquity.
It was commssioned by the Roman emperor, Justinian I. Its original name was Corpus Juris Civilis (Body of Civil law). The term Justinian Code was introduced in the 16th century

Yes. Suleiman I, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire was called al-Qanuni, meaning Law-Giver, by his subjects explicitly because he established a complex and detailed legal code for the Ottoman Empire. The primary basis for most laws in the code was Shari'a or the Islamic Legal Tradition, but there were some laws based on Roman or Byzantine edicts.

The Byzantine Empire was the predominantly Greek-speaking continuation of the Roman Empire during Late Antiquity and the middle Ages. The laws that influenced the modern legal codes dates further back to the Babylonian empire and that is the Hammurabi code of law.

I think it was Hammurabi. I'm not completely sure though.
Hammurabi, in the Mesopotamian civilizations wrote a legal code that covered daily life.
Hammurabi, 1792 - 1750 B.C. first ruler of the Babylonian empire, was responsible for the first written code of laws, known as "The Code of Hammurabi".
It can be, wholly or partly. A legal system can also embody 'common law', the body of jurisdiction by a country's courts. In some countries, traditional customs or the Muslim Sha'ria laws and customs are part of the legal system.
