Answer:

Although, Other Historians see the laws as just and fair because the laws brought order and justice to society. Hammurabi's code was a just system because it allowed harsh punishments to keep order and be obeyed which caused less crimes and kept the societies quiet. A collection of 282 rules, established standards for commercial interactions and set fines and punishments to meet the requirements of justice. Hope this Helps!

Idk what document but It was just at the time, and even now, as it gave a strict yet fair in a sense punishment, lets say you stole something, they would chop off the hand you used to steal. It was a way to keep people from committing crimes and funny thing is it really worked.
