A more thorough explanation:

Corpus Juris

Corpus juris is a Latin term that means "body of law." It refers to a comprehensive collection of laws that make up an entire legal system.

One example of a corpus juris is the Corpus Juris Civilis, which is a collection of Roman laws that served as the basis for many legal systems in Europe. Another example is the Corpus Juris Canonici, which is a collection of laws that govern the Catholic Church.

The examples illustrate how a corpus juris is a comprehensive collection of laws that govern a particular legal system. The Corpus Juris Civilis and Corpus Juris Canonici are both extensive collections of laws that cover a wide range of legal issues. These collections are important because they provide a foundation for legal systems and help ensure consistency and fairness in the application of the law.
