Code of Justinian

Read a random definition: one-person, one-vote rule

A quick definition of Code of Justinian:

The Code of Justinian is a collection of laws made by the Roman Emperor Justinian in the year 529. It replaced all the old laws and was made up of 12 books that covered things like church law, criminal law, and private law. A group of ten people, led by a man named Tribonian, worked on it for over a year. Later, it was revised and updated in 534. This new version is the only one that still exists today. Justinian thought it would be enough for all time, but more laws were made later. All of Justinian's laws are now called the Corpus Juris Civilis.

A more thorough explanation:

The Code of Justinian is a collection of imperial constitutions that replaced all prior imperial law. It was drawn up by a commission of ten persons appointed by Justinian and published in A.D. 529. The project began in February A.D. 528 and ended in April 529. The second work, containing the 12 books of the revised code, includes the imperial constitutions of the Gregorian, Hermogenian, and Theodosian Codes, together with later legislation, revised and harmonized into one systematic whole. It deals with ecclesiastical law, criminal law, administrative law, and private law.

For example, the Code of Justinian replaced all prior imperial law and was in force only until A.D. 534, when it was supplanted by a revision, the Codex Repetitae Praelectionis. The precise contents of the first work are unknown, but the second work is the one referred to as the Justinian Code in modern writings.
