Justinian Organizes Roman Law
Justinian Organizes Roman Law is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 2: Justinian and Theodora in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).
Key Concepts
Perhaps the most enduring contribution of the era was the creation of the Justinian Code (Corpus Juris Civilis). Upon taking the throne, Justinian realized that centuries of Roman laws were messy, contradictory, and outdated. He appointed a commission of legal scholars to review, simplify, and organize these statutes into a single, coherent legal system .
This code extended civil law to govern all aspects of life, including marriage, property, and crime. By preserving and systematizing Roman legal principles, the Justinian Code became the foundation for the legal systems of many modern western nations. It ensured that the concept of "justice under the law" survived the collapse of the ancient world.
