Civil law systems mainly derive from the Roman Empire, and more particularly, theCorpus Juris Civilis is-
sued by the Emperor Jus-tinian ca. AD 529.
![Page 12: 5 civil law first presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54814d3fb4af9f4c758b45f1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This was an extensive reform of the law in the Byzantine Empire, bringing it together into codified documents.
![Page 13: 5 civil law first presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54814d3fb4af9f4c758b45f1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Civil law was also partly influenced by religious laws
such as
Canon law and Islamic law.
![Page 14: 5 civil law first presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54814d3fb4af9f4c758b45f1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Civil law today,in theory, is interpreted
rather than
developed or made by judges.
![Page 15: 5 civil law first presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54814d3fb4af9f4c758b45f1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

(rather than judicial prece-dents,
as in common law)
are considered legally binding.
