∙ 14y agoThe codification of Roman Law is called The Code of Justinian. It is a series of books that organized the laws of Rome and explains how they are applied. Each judge applies the law according to the code and not according to previous court decisions as in the United States or England. Judges have more power and do not simply act as referees as in the United States in Jury trials. While the laws have been greatly modified over the years, as in the code of Napoleon, the parts that have not been modified, are still used.
