Why did Suleyman come to be known as “the lawgiver”?

OpenStudy (barreraa):

In europe he is usally called the magnificant, but in the arab world he is called "Lawgiver" because he completly reconstructed and modernized the Ottoman legal system. Suleiman personally instituted legislative changes relating to society, education, taxation, and criminal law. His canonical law (or the Kanuns) fixed the form of the empire for centuries after his death. https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100926124117AAeSnGN
