Casimir's Code

Casimir's Code was a legal code adopted in 1468, most likely at Vilnius in February of that year, by Casimir IV Jagiellon, Grand Duke of Lithuania and King of Poland, with the approval of the Lithuanian Council of Lords. It was the first attempt to codify the laws of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, addressing crimes against property, particularly theft and robbery, and setting out court procedures, with prescribed punishments ranging from confiscation and compensation to flogging, the stocks and hanging for repeat offenders and the most serious property crimes.
