Justinian believed that the law had two parts: the universal laws of nature, which were observed by all people, and civil laws, which may be specific to a particular society or community. Natural law, according to him, ensured that all people were born free.
Justinian attempted to rewrite and reorganize Roman law. This was done in his quest to revive the Roman Empire back to power.

The Justinian code was the result of Emperor Justinian's desire to consolidate existing Roman law. Justinian's legislation or "Corpus juris civilis" formed the basis of later Byzantine law.
You are thinking of Justinian and the Justinian Code. However he never was a lawmaker. He consolidated the existing Roman laws which became the basis for European law.
