Era

This dimension groups legal codes by the era in which they were compiled. Wikipedia notes that in common law systems codification is "the process of converting and consolidating judge-made law or uncodified statutes enacted by the legislature into codified statute law," a process that has proceeded in waves across history. Browsing by era lets a visitor compare codes compiled in the same period.
