LawKaro - Codify Meaning

Codification is the process of arranging laws or rules into a systemic order. Codification can be done by taking judicial decisions and legislative acts and making them codified. The codification process does not create new laws; it simply arranges existing laws (usually by subject) into a code.

In the United States, for example, the chronological order in which acts of Congress were made law is codified chronologically. The United States Code contains all federal statutes.
