It was both a collection of the work of the legal experts and commentary on it, and a collection of new laws. The ''Corpus Iuris Civilis'' consisted of four parts:

# ''Institutiones'': This was an introduction and a summary of Roman law.
# ''Digesta/Pandectae'': This was the collection of the edicts.
# ''Codex'': This contained all the laws of the emperors.
# ''Novellae'': This contained all new laws created.
