2. Goseibai ShikimokuThe Goseibai Shikimoku (御成敗式目) or the Formulary of Adjudications was the legal code of the Kamakura shogunate in Japan, promulgated by third shikken Hōjō Yasutoki in 1232. It is also called Jōei Shikimoku (貞永式目) after the era name. Before enacting the Goseibai Shikimoku, the Kamakura shogunate conducted trials without formal laws.
