Relating to or contained in a code of laws or legal rules.
From Latin codex (a collection of laws written on wooden tablets) plus the suffix '-al' meaning of or relating to; used to describe something that pertains to a legal code.
The term 'codal' reminds us that before the internet and digital documents, legal codes were literally carved or written on durable materials—the Roman Justinian Code is still called 'codal' even though it wasn't bound like modern books.
