The article discusses codification as an important form of systematization of legislation, questions related to its understanding, a brief history of codification, its significance in the system of law and in law enforcement today, and its role in world legal systems and families, including Romano-Germanic. On the basis of modern realities of the development of law from the state-legal point of view, such issues as common and distinctive aspects of the codification process from other legal families, as well as development trends of the modern codification process are analyzed. As noted in the article, codification acts as an important and basic form of systematization of modern legislation. At the same time, new trends are taking place in the content of the codification process, for example, the adoption of more and more functional codes, such as the Budgetary, Electoral, etc., as opposed to industry-specific ones, such as civil, criminal, labor, etc. It is argued that the criteria for codification, determining its necessity in a certain branch of law, have not been sufficiently developed, it is stated that the theory lags far behind the practice. The article notes that in modern legal science there is a need to develop and improve the theory of codification.
