One of the roman laws are that you are innocent until proven guilty, this law/rule is in use in most of the world.

They did affect the world

the 12 tables are the base of the American law system

the 12 tables are tied into the idea of the civil law.

Some countries including South Africa and San Marino still base their current legal system on the civil law.

law school students around the world are still required to study the Twelve Tables and other parts of Roman Law- this is to better understand the current legal system.

There was a code

Punishment was decided by two factors:

The social status of the condemned person and how bad the crime is.
The punishment also depended on if the crime committed was in public or private.

usually public offenses were punishable by torture or death.

Private offenses could usually be settled by a fee or forfeiting of your land.
Public punishment was used as a way to educate the citizens.

As for slaves usually their owner chose their punishment.
