Definitely! The first chapter in my law textbook in grade 11 was "Our Legal Heritage" which was basically a section on the historical roots of law and how its influence on Canadian law. Because Canada is such a multicultural country, our legal system has been affected by other's law of custom and religion. Also, in my opinion, anything we have today is an improvement of things of the past-same would apply to law. Our Canadian legal system was greatly influenced by previous legal system like that of the Greek, Hebrew and Aboriginals to name a few.

Moreover, the British law system had the most influence over Canadian law. In the 43 CE (according to my notes), the Romans conquered Great Britain and as a result imposed their laws onto the people. So one could imagine the influence Roman law had on the British law which influenced the Canadian law.

Some of the specific Roman influences on the Canadian law system is the practise of having lawyers. Romans were the ones who introduced that and we have adopted that. Another principle of the Roman law is that the law must be recorded, which we too have done

Is Hammurabi's law better then Canada's law?

canadian law is better than hammurabi's law because hammurabi's law is way more harsher than canadian laws today. of course, if our law was as harsh as hammurabi's today, there would be less crimes. in canadian law, the people who decide if you are going to jail/if you are guilty, have to ask questions to themselves like 'did the accused person of the crime do his actions on purpose','how old is this person...' and it goes on and on. when in hammurabi's law no questions asked you would be killed right away. in my opinion i would rather have the canadian law more than hammurabi's.
