Detailed explanation-1: -Justinian’s compilation strongly influenced canon law (the law of the church) and provided the foundation of law in all civil law jurisdictions (i.e., in continental Western Europe and in many countries colonized by continental Europeans). It also influenced English Common Law, but less directly.
Detailed explanation-2: -Justinian’s code is important because it gives us an idea of what laws were instituted back then and what laws people had to follow.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Codex Justinianus, or Code of Justinian, was a legal code. It consisted of the various sets of laws and legal interpretations collected and codified by scholars under the direction of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I.
