My group is doing a campaign set in Ravnica since WotC released GGR. One of the players is part of the Azorius Senate and is being RPed as basically a Officer Hops from Zootopia kind of character. She is very enthusiastic with upholding the law, but due to her low authority, it kind of comes off childish and comical. Like that one annoying teachers pet that was put in charge to watch the class while the teacher runs to the bathroom.
Anyway, this player is very into the role of the character and wants to know more about Ravnica's Laws. I don't know much about the Lore of Ravnica myself. I would assume that the laws would go in line with most First World Country laws (depending on your country), but what about experiments, magic, items, weapons. Is it against the law to raise the dead. I know in the Azorius Senate views of other guilds it said that the Simic "break the laws of nature and the laws of Ravnica," but what laws are they breaking? I know Cult of Rakdos kidnap people to show in their "specticals," but do Azorius and Boros just let it happen? Does they not try to raid these shows to put them to justice?
Maybe if I looked more into the Lore of Ravnica I could get a better idea, but I just have the book to go by and Lore videos on YouTube mainly follow planeswalkers. I'm kind of lost right now haha xD
Unfortunately, I doubt more than a few laws have even been written as flavor text, let alone as any kind of document.
I recommend homebrewing it starting with the code legal of waterdeep and changing laws to fit the 10 guilds. Remember that the guilds and the common people of the plane have different protections (in particular, I read that it is not illegal to kill a guild member, though may violate different laws).
I'm not sure if this would be helpful but... As i'm sure you know already, Ravnica is a plane from Magic The Gathering. While the sourcebook might not have the answers your looking for, maybe do some research from the Magic end of things. there are plenty of websites that detail the guilds and their beliefs. Here are some links I've used. I hope they are helpful to you.

I had done a Google search previously (2 years ago) and not been able to turn up any specific laws.
