Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Emperor Justinian I was the ruler of the Eastern Roman Empire, or the Byzantine Empire. Emperor Justinian saw the condition that the Roman law was in and set out to reform the Roman legal system by creating his own set of laws and interpretations based on the old roman laws. The purpose of these sets of laws was to create a universal set of laws that all of the Byzantine Empire could follow, and was given presidence over any local laws, preventing any contradictions in court rulings
