This is a slow board, give it time friend.
>>507031
I'd recommend starting with the Romans

Depends what you mean. If you mean late Roman, the the Code of Justinian is an important document that you can trace many other legal systems to. If you mean day to day Imperial Law, maybe check out the reforms of Julius Ceasar and Augustus. If you mean the modern civil law, check out the Code Napoleon

We need a reading list for particular subjects. I'm NEET at the moment and would be willing to help build one.
I think i'd start with Ciceros letters.

Any good summaries on the Code of Justinian and it's influence on other legal systems?

I don't know mate, I'm taking a paper on it later this year. Generally I'd start with the Wikipedia article and start reference chasing.

Just go straight into it with Theodor Mommsen. He's the start of the legalistic tradition
Otherwise, just search 'Roman/Rome law' on libgen, where you can find these:
a) Schulz 1936, Principles of Roman Law
[highly recommended as a handbook for references]
b) Sherwin-White 1963, Roman Society and Roman Law in the New Testament
[a more social account, as was S-W's wont]
c) Tellegen-Couperus 1993, A Short History of Roman Law
[decent overview, more modern with the scholarship]
d) Bauman 1996, Crime and Punishment in Ancient Rome
[Bauman does good stuff on punishment]
To help you keep track of all the different legal-jargonistic terms, consult: A. Berger 1968, Encyclopedic Dictionary of Roman Law

Sweet! When did this start?
>>507099
This should be in the sticky.
>>507056
at the beginning?
the Twelve Tables
>>507473
>not realizing that Greek (i.e. Athenian) law has had almost zero impact on the Western Roman legal tradition
Start with the Greeks.
>>507031
Seven Tables.
Then the Lex Iulia in all its iterations.
Then Justinians code I guess.

*twelve tables
I'm a huge faggot please rape my face.
>>508255
This honestly.
duodecim tabulae is heavily influenced by Solonian law which is in turn a reformation of Draconian law.
