How Justinian adapted roman law for the use by the Byzantines.?
Justinian commissioned the Corpus Juris Civilis (Body of Civil Law), which was also given the name Justinian Code in the Renaissance.
This work was not an adaptation of Roman civil law. It was a reorganisation and an updating of centuries of Roman juridical tradition and an aid for law students.
There were four parts of the Corpus Juris Civilis.
1) The Codex compiled a selection of imperial enactments going back to the days of Hadrian.
2) The Digesta was a anthology of 50 books of fragments and essays by the most prominent jurists in Roman history. These writings were private opinions.
3) The Institutiones comprised four student textbooks which introduced legal conceptual elements in a less developed manner compared with the other two parts.
4) The Novellae was a collection of laws promulgated by Justinian from after the publication of the Corpus until his death.
The aim of the work was to reorganise the judicial system of the empire which over time had became chaotic, to discard redundant enactments and the ones that had been repealed, and to amend obscure passages.
With regard to the codex part of this work, there were two editions. The first one was already redundant when it was published in 529 because it contained enactments that had already become redundant and it did not include enactments that had been issued in the meantime. This edition has been lost. As second edition was published in 534.
This codex was not the first one. there had been three earlier ones: the Codex Theodosianus, published in 429 which collected the enactments of the Christian emperos since 312; the Codex Gregorianus, published in the 380s which collected enactments from the 130s to the 290s, and the Codex Hermogeaunus, which collected the enactments of the emperors of the tetrarchy (Diocletian, Maximian, Constantius and Gelerius), mostly from 293-94. The latter provided a model for the stucture of the Corpus Juris Civilis.

This is a term which has been coined by historians to indicate the eastern part of the Roman Empire after the fall of the western part of this empire and which became popular in the 19th century. The people in question did not know this term and called their empire Roman Empire. Therefore, it would be more appropriate to talk of a "Byzantine" period. This started about a century later.
What happened to the western half of the empire following the fall of Rome?
By the time Romulus Augustus (this was his actual name, Augustulus was a

Romulus Augustus was deposed by Odoacer, a Germanic commander of the Roman army. Odoacer led a rebellion of Germanic soldiers allied to the Romans who were stationed in Italy. They were disgruntled because they were refused land grants to settle in Italy. Odoacer became the king of Italy. He claimed to be a representative of the emperor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire, but was actually the ruler of Italy.
Soon after Odoacer seized power in 476, the Domain of Soissons broke all ties with Italy. In 486 the Domain of Soissons was conquered by the Franks. In 488 Zeno, the emperor of the eastern part of the Roman Empire sent Theodoric the Great, the king of the Ostrogoths, to invade Italy and depose Odoacer. Theodoric established the Ostrogothic Kingdom, which covered Italy, south-western France, Austria, western Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and part of Serbia.
