According to an online resource by Oxford University, the Laws of Ur-Nammu are a series of codes attributed to the Sumerian ruler Ur-Nammu between 2112 and 2095 BCE. Although only 40 of these inscribed laws have survived to the present day, the ones that were preserved dealt with marriage, property, and redress for offenses ranging from false accusations to homicide.
