Detailed explanation-1: -What is the significance of the Code of Justinian? Although the Code of Justinian was not, in itself, a new legal code, it rationalized hundreds of years of existing Roman statutes. Contradictions and conflicts were eliminated, and any existing laws that were not included in it were repealed.
Detailed explanation-2: -And probably the biggest impact of Justinian on the modern age is the Roman Code of Law, which was compiled during his reign, and is the basis of most legal systems around the world today.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Justinian Code talked about so many important laws including marriage, property, crime, adoption, slavery, business, and trade laws. Phew! Pretty much everything an empire might need was included in those laws. There are many laws that still make sense even today.
Detailed explanation-4: -It was important for the empires to have detailed legal codes so everything was fair and people could not get around the law. The legal codes also kept order and limited crime. They also bound the rulers to laws agreed on by the government.
