Can we still use the code of Hammurabi?

If you mean: is Hammurabi's Code still in use somewhere as a code of Law, the answer is no. If you mean: could we decide to use all or part of it as part of our present-day legal system, the answer I'm afraid is also no. Hammurabi's Code was - despite its name - not a code of law. It was a collection of verdicts Hammurabi had made in disputes brought before him. In today's legal systems, practically any dispute you could think of is already covered by existing laws or jurisdiction, or both. You cannot have two systems of law or jurisdiction for the same dispute, and today's jurisdiction would always take first place over Hammurabi's old verdicts.
