Home›Civil Codes›Country or JurisdictionBrowse ByCountry or JurisdictionThis dimension groups legal codes by the country or jurisdiction they govern. Wikipedia notes that codification "is one of the defining features for most civil law jurisdictions," so a code is usually tied tightly to one legal territory.
