In the western world laws are considered fair. We have trials where we can confess our innocence and the opportunity to prove it. The punishment for being convicted isn't as harsh as it was in Babylon, because most of the western world doesn't execute its criminals. In Babylon it would seem that they do. In the Middle East I would imagine that the laws are very much the same. Women treated like property, and greater punishment for even the smallest infractions. In ancient times people were interested in basically slaves and so forth like the Chinese in some instant.

Why is Hammurabis Code significant?
Hammurabis code was significant because it was one of the earliest forms of patriarchy in the world. Hammurabi also said the phrase an eye for an eye, and so on. Women were not important in this society, if you read some of his code you will notice. If a man does something wrong he can always sell his wife and children into slavery. Also class was very important in this code. If a man of higher status did something wrong the price would be less than if a man of a lower status or a woman commited the same crime. hope this helps. cheese and pickles
