In Byzantine Empire, legal education has always been valued. In the early days of the empire, there were law schools not only in Constantinople, but also in some places. After that, the prosperity of legal education was related to the legislative activities of Emperor Justinian. In 528 AD, he appointed a committee of ten legal experts. After years of efforts, the Committee of Ten has compiled the Justinian Code (volume 10), the elements of jurisprudence, the general outline of law and the new version of law, which are collectively called the Civil Code. Justinian took the promotion of legal knowledge as a means to consolidate his rule, so he attached importance to legal education. In the capital and Beirut, law schools are managed by the state, and the study period of both schools is five years. At the end of the 9th century, the state-run legal education declined for a time, but it revived in 1 1 century.
