Common Law
Common law is a legal system where judicial decisions (precedents) form the primary source of law, distinct from codified statutes, emphasizing the principle of stare decisis (following past rulings) to ensure consistency and flexibility as judges interpret and apply law to new cases, originating in England and influencing systems like the US and Commonwealth nations.
