STATUTORY LAW VS. COMMON LAW

STATUTORY LAW

Statutory law is the framework for our society and how we keep justice maintained. It is good knowledge and understanding to have of our culture and how it functions.

COMMON LAW

Common law is based on precedent (legal principles developed in earlier case law) instead of statutory laws. It is the traditional law of an area or region created by judges when deciding individual disputes or cases. Common law changes over time.
