Justinian's Code, also known as the Corpus Juris Civilis, was a comprehensive codification of Roman law commissioned by Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in the 6th century. It aimed to consolidate and simplify the vast body of legal texts and interpretations that had accumulated over centuries. Justinian established a commission of legal scholars, led by Tribonian, who systematically reviewed, organized, and revised existing laws, producing a coherent legal framework that influenced many modern legal systems. The Code consists of four main parts: the Codex, the Digest, the Institutes, and the Novellae.
