Why did Justinian I want to reform the law of the Byzantine Empire?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Mainly to clean it up. The Byzantine Empire inherited a lot of laws from Rome and over many years, new laws and edicts continued piling into it. Imagine a desk with important notes stacked on top of it and every time someone works there, they keep adding to the pile even if another person may have already done some of the work. 

So Justinian pushed to create a clear set of laws that every court in the empire could rely on and which every person could count on for justice no matter where they were within it.
