Having proclaimed himself Emperor of the Serbs and Greeks, Stefan Dušan received the right and responsibility to establish laws. The Code did not exist on its own, but was part of a system of legal sources that was codified during Dušan’s time. In addition to the Code itself, the Code of Justinian and the Abridged Syntagma of Matthias Vlastar were found in Dusan’s collections of legislation.
The Code contains less provisions of ecclesiastical and civil law and much more procedural law. The code provided for punishments that were not the same for all subjects, but they were very severe. The Emperor put the Code above himself, so Article 172 states that judges should judge not out of fear of the emperor, but according to the Code.
