Does the Code of Hammurabi bring justice? Is it a fair set of laws in terms of rich versus poor and men versus women, for example?

Yes, it brings great justice for both social classes because it used to determine what an amount of work is worth. It is also beneficial for both men and women because it displays one of the earliest forms of "innocent until proven guilty" which allows for a fair trial between sexes.
