Be ready to discuss!

Hammurabi’s Code As you know, Hammurabi’s Code was very harsh, but it became one of the earliest attempts at law. You are now going to read 20 laws within Hammurabi’s Code. You must pick 10 and translate them into modern language in groups of 4-5 people. Two of you will read 10 of them, and the other two will read the other 10. You will then share with each other what you read. We will do the first one as an example. (143)
