	Code of Hammurabi - MSN Encarta
		Code of Hammurabi, collection of the laws and edicts of the Babylonian king Hammurabi, and the earliest legal code known in its entirety.
		A copy of the code, engraved on a block of fl basalt that is 2.25 m (7 ft 5 in) in height, was unearthed by a team of French archaeologists at Sūsa, Iraq, formerly ancient Elam, during the winter of 1901 to 1902.
		The code itself, composed of 28 paragraphs, seems to be a series of amendments to the common law of Babylonia, rather than a strict legal code.

	Law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most laws and legal systems—at least in the Western world—are quite similar in their essential themes, arising from similar values and similar social, economic, and political conditions, and they typically differ less in their substantive content than in their jargon and procedures.
		Communication between legal systems is the focus of legal translation and legal lexicography, which deals with the principles of producing a law dictionary.
		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.

		The most deeply rooted obstacle to the appreciation of non- state legal systems is the theory, eloquently stated by Thomas Hobbes, that the law-making function indivisibly and necessarily belongs to the sovereign.
		Legal rules at this level of generality, being part of our accumulated cultural heritage, would naturally be free.
		Businessmen surveyed typically rank the legal protection of their innovations as one of the least important determinants of the rate of return on research and development.

	History of Legal Systems (from p
		Since the legal system will be one of the few areas where we will allow the use of compulsion, we must be very careful to select a system that will not violate our philosophy.
		Usually the initial code retains the flavor of the earlier patriarchal era and primarily deals with relationships between families or between the patriarchs of the families.
		Most legal theories have not examined antiquity; yet we have always had evidence of early social states from three sources: accounts by contemporaries of less advanced civilizations; records by primitive societies of their history; and ancient law texts.

	Libertarian Legal Code
		The intellectual world desperately needs a legal code deemed to be universally applicable everywhere for everybody, including the psychotic sociopaths, retarded, alcoholics, irresponsible gamblers, etc. The Libertarian Code of Law should be the basic law for the Milky Way Galaxy and the universal default law everywhere.
		The Libertarian Legal Code should be deemed to be the "default" law applicable to the extent that coercive government is not effectively administering some other legal code.
		Legal codes must be existential, coping with the complexities currently existing.

		This Code represents a framework within which these lenders agree to operate, with due regard to the fact that each lender adopts a different competitive approach to mortgage lending and each case of mortgage arrears is unique and needs to be treated differently.
		However, the lender reserves its right to enforce the mortgage in circumstances where application of this Code is not appropriate, such as in the case of fraud or breach of contract other than the existence of arrears.
		This Code recognises that it is in the interests of both the lender and the borrower to address a 'missed payment situation' as speedily and as effectively as circumstances allow.

		Overall, though, the Code was designed to place individuals into a structure, to re-create a social fabric that was damaged by the Revolution but that benefited the State and was regulated by the State.
		Civil Code countries and the American legal system also have something in common: The U.S. Constitution has served as a basic law for more than two centuries, and its interpretation by the courts can be compared to what happens in France with the Civil Code.
		For legal historians, these are both fundamental texts that have been maintained for more than two centuries; of course, changing times and the changing role of the courts have made adaptations inevitable.

	Securing the Leg Irons:Restriction of Legal Rights for Slaves in Virginia and Maryland, 1625 - 1791 - The Early America ...
		Indeed, legality was only a very small portion of the overall socioeconomic justification for slavery, relying as it did on a complicated system of beliefs that is not within the scope of this paper to address.
		Indeed, the general assembly of Virginia in 1662 passed an act which directly and consciously invoked Justinian code: partvs seqvitvr ventram, whereby a child born of a slave mother was also held to be a slave, regardless of its father's legal status.
		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.

		It is essential reading for records, legal and IT managers alike, but woe betides any of them who tries to pick the eyes out of it for a quick up-date.
		The Code sets out procedures for an organisation’s duty of care, giving much more attention to risk assessment and the impact analysis might have on decisions on storage media types.
		And even more dismaying is this Introduction "Originals and copies" section’s claim that: "The Code recommends procedures for identifying a copy of an original." The statement rounds off a paragraph warning about the malicious alteration of a file by a "perpetrator" claiming it to be an original.

	Russia Glances to the West for Its New Legal Code
		The code enshrines the fundamental concept of presumption of innocence and gives new responsibilities — and, in theory, independence — to judges, while it will gradually strip prosecutors of the enormous powers they have wielded over almost every step of any prosecution, from arrest to trial.
		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.
		Khovrachyov said he believed that the new code was necessary, though "maybe not to this full extent." He wondered, for instance, how fair it would be for the court to approve an arrest within 48 hours and then be asked to issue a verdict of guilt or innocence later.

	IEEE Spectrum: New legal code
		Under a copyright regime, where independent invention is a valid defense, provided you have not reviewed and copied code from a copyright holder, you are free to write all the code you can dream up independently.
		If competitors find a way to copy code out of one program and paste it into one of their own, or if pirates mass-produce copies of an installation CD, or if a disgruntled employee take the company's code base to a competitor, then those people could still be prosecuted under a copyright regime.
		There are many considerations to molding copyright laws to fit software best, but in an industry with literally millions of independent inventors, a copyright is much less likely to stifle innovation than a patent or to impose the cost of hiring a standing army of lawyers.

	The Code of Hammurabi ~1700 BCE
		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.
		Perhaps the single most striking feature of Hammurabi's Code is its commitment to protection of the weak from being brutalized by the strong.
		Hammurabi's Code addressed the right of the poor to seek redress from wrongs committed by the wealthy or by the nobility.
