1: The Law Code of Hammurabi
Identify and describe specific similarities and differences you notice between the Law Code of Hammurabi and laws today.
There are many specific similarities between the Code of Hammurabi and laws used today. For the first part, Hammurabi's laws are sorted into groups the way that our current codes are arranged.
