The Ottoman Empire, particularly under Suleiman the Magnificent, is known for its vast legal code. Suleiman unified Islamic law (Sharia) and secular laws (Qanun) into a comprehensive legal system that was applied throughout the empire. His reforms helped promote justice and governance among the empire's diverse populace.
