Résumé anglais From Codes to Codification The idea of codes, as they were conceived of in the 18th and 19th centuries, is currently being called into question by a series of factors which render the law much more obscure and complex. In order to address this situation various solutions are utilised in western democracies, amongst which features the codification of existing legal measures to retain law's ‘constancy', leading to the introduction of codes which are extremely different from those of the 18th and 19th centuries. They are, in effect, much more specialised and lay no claim to permanency, the aim of codification being in future to reduce the intermediaries between law and citizens.
