invictus says:

The earliest law code of Ancient Mesopotamia, translated by Leonard W King, with an introduction and commentary by Charles F. Horne. The document is a part of The Avalon Project from the Yale Law School. Browsing the whole site is highly recommended - it has a very rich collection of documents, especially for the American History.
