Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Corpus Juris Civilis is a compendium of Roman law compiled by the order of Justinian I in the 6th century CE. It includes various commentaries and codifications of Roman law, and was intended to streamline and clarify legal proceedings in the Byzantine Empire. It is not a response to barbarian invasions, a root word for jury systems, or a classical text from the Republic period. Though it was created during a time when the church played a significant role in society, it is not specifically related to canon law.
