TheLawMap Olympics Special Focus on Ancient Legal Code - Byzantine Law: The Corpus Juris (or Iuris) Civilis (Body of Civil Law) is the modern name for a collection of fundamental works in jurisprudence, issued from 529 to 534 by order of Justinian I, Eastern Roman Emperor. The Corpus continues to have a major influence on public international law. Its four parts thus constitute the foundation documents of the Western legal tradition.
