Answer:

The twelve tables were a set of Byzantine laws that built up over time. It was very confusing and Justinian wanted to make simpler so no one would be confused. He simplified the twelve tables to Justinian 's Code.

Answer:

Shortly after Justinian became emperor in 527, he decided the empire's legal system needed repair. Early in his reign, Justinian appointed an official, Tribonian, to oversee this task. The project as a whole became known as Corpus juris civilis, or the Justinian Code.
