I think I know where you are going with this. No. Because it's outdated, like the Bible. The Bible actually takes some of it's codes from it.

Believe in?
It's a code of laws to be followed in the time of Hammurabi, the ruler. What does belief have to do with it? I believe in the ideas presented in the Declaration of Independence - I support the laws in the Constitution, I don't believe in them.

I believe that there was a ruler named Hammurabi, and that under his direction laws were codified.
What were you looking for?

Hammurabi was a nasty dude. Yes.
Note : Would like to add that the codex of Ur-Nammu was a older, and much more strict (in my opinion). Can't forget Ur-Nammu.

No!
Very outdated -- and even immoral.
So much of the laws accept slavery, polygamy and various other practices, such as, "If the slave of a freed man strike the body of a freed man, his ear shall be cut off."
And even in areas that we agree are wrong (such as stealing), it goes to extreme lengths:
"If any one is committing a robbery and is caught, then he shall be put to death."
