Wikipedia: Codification (law)
In law, codification is the process of collecting and restating the law of a jurisdiction in certain areas, usually by subject, forming a legal code, i.e. a codex (book) of law.

Codification is one of the defining features of civil law jurisdictions. In common law systems, such as that of English law, codification is the process of converting and consolidating judge-made law into statute law.

When I learned that codified was pronounced like the fish, and not the word “code.”
I was just… I couldn’t.

Dismiss the fish.  They’ve been schooled and CODified.

I can’t take the word, “codified,” seriously. I just picture things being turned into fish.

You understand that the term “codified” means “recipe with fish” to them, right?
