At the time Justinian I directed its reform, Roman law was the accumulated product of Rome’s history from republican times. For centuries, emperors had repeatedly issued new laws and decrees (referred to as constitutions). They also issued rescripts (official statements) regarding specific questions. Although these did not necessarily agree with the general principles of the law, they had the force of law. In addition, laws were not systematically published and the archives did not always keep copies of new legislation. This accumulation of conflicting legislation made it difficult for lawyers and judges to cite the law accurately on specific legal points. Also, jurisconsultants issued many opinions during the second and third centuries. These opinions, however, were sometimes contradictory, and many were difficult to find. |
