 Legal code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A legal code is a moral code enforced by the law of a state.
Legal codes can be of a general private law nature, or they may cover specific areas of law such as in the area of criminal law or certain kinds of statutory types of laws, i.e.
It implies an ethical code of court procedures and evidence rules that apply to jurists, i.e.

 Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Procedural law are rules and regulations found in a legal system that regulate access to legal institutions such as the courts, including the filing of private lawsuits and regulating the treatment of defendants and convicts by the public criminal justice system.
Communication between legal systems is the focus of legal translation and legal lexicography, which deals with the principles of producing a law dictionary.
Within common law jurisdictions, rulings by judges are an important additional source of legal rules; within civil law jurisdictions, rulings do not constitute de jure for the future, but in practice, jurisprudence is often quite equivalent to common law precedent.

 [No title]
Posner and Landes observe that public and private courts typically have similar legal codes; they then conclude that the private courts free ride off of the public courts by "borrowing" their precedents.
From these assumptions, these two legal economists proposed the following test of the efficiency of the public courts' civil trials: the public courts are efficient if they match the practices of arbitration.

The provisions of this section (formerly 67 Pa. Code § 157.3), which disallow the use of telescopic lenses to meet visual acuity requirements for driver’s licenses, do not violate section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. § 794) or equal protection or due process provisions of the Federal or State constitutions.

 Medieval Sourcebook: The Institutes of Justinian, 535 CE
A person dies intestate, who either has made no testament at all, or has made one not legally valid; or if the testament he has made is revoked, or made useless; or if no one becomes heir under it.
But if any one wishes to make a testament, valid by the civil law, without writing, he may do so, in the presence of seven witnesses, verbally declaring his wishes, and this will be a testament perfectly valid according to the civil law, and confirmed by imperial constitutiones.
It constituted both the current law of the time, and a turning point in Roman Law: from then on the sometimes contradictory case law of the past was subsumed into an ordered legal system.

 The Timetable of World Legal History
Archaeological evidence shows that it was supported by an advanced legal system which included specialized judges, the giving of testimony under oath, the proper form of judicial decisions and the ability of the judges to order that damages be paid to a victim by the guilty party.
Under the government of Napoleon, France adopted a comprehensive code of law in 1804 which enshrined many of the victories obtained during the Revolution such as individual liberty, equality before the law and the lay character of the state.
Perhaps the most important aspect of the Code was the fact that the law was written (as opposed to judge-made) and in a non-technical style and thus more accessible to the public.

 Securing the Leg Irons:Restriction of Legal Rights for Slaves in Virginia and Maryland, 1625 - 1791 - The Early America ...
Throughout the period, slaves on the European mainland remained legal Things, in conformity with the remnants of Roman civil code, and as demonstrated in the Spanish Code de Tortosa (1272).
It was this problem in definition of legal status that appears to have been at the heart of law and legalities regarding Negro slaves in Anglo-British colonial America; the job was not easy, and full of fatal logical pitfalls.
In both instances, the court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs suing for their freedom, though with evident reluctance and a desire that the legislature should resolve the matter of nati natorvm et qvi nascentvr ab illis, whereby the status of the grandchildren of misogynous unions could be determined with certainty.

 Russia Glances to the West for Its New Legal Code
The new code guarantees a suspect legal representation from the moment of arrest, but it does not spell out how the lawyers will be paid when the defendant cannot afford them.
Today, in one of the court's last sessions under the old code, two suspects, Aleksandr L. Grishin and Andrei M. Kozhuknov, sat inside a metal cage and listened to the closing arguments in their latest trial for robbery and assault they are accused of having committed in February 2000.
On Monday, Russia will adopt a new legal code that governs the prosecution of criminal cases and protects the rights of those accused.

 Morocco: Action Urged on Legal Code Reform (Human Rights Watch Press release, Washington, DC, March 20, 2001)
Only in narrow circumstances are women legally authorized to represent themselves in contracting their marriage.
For example, while men over the age of eighteen are not required to seek authorization to marry, women of any age must obtain the authorization of a male guardian in contracting marriage.
Therefore, by failing to recognize physical acts of discipline as abusive, and by denying women adequate legal recourse to remedy such violence, the Moroccan legal system allows husbands to abuse their wives with impunity.

According to reports the Canadian Society of Muslims, which acts under a 1991 Ontario provincial law, is setting up the Islamic Institute of Civil Justice to apply the Quran-based legal code for settlement of property, inheritance, marriage and divorce disputes.

While the precise date of Hammurabi's Code of Laws is disputed by scholars, it is generally believed to have been written between the second year of his reign, circa 1727 BCE, and the end of his reign, circa 1680 BCE, predating the Hebrew "Ten Commandments" by about 500 years.
