Hints Case law
In imprecise and confusing usage the terms "common law" and "common law" are often used synonymously, with the term "common law" in this usage connoting judge made law in general as contrasted with statutory law. "Case law" always connotes judge made law, while "common law" in contrast-- depending on the meaning intended--describes either the judge made law in common law subject matters or, more extensively, all judge made law.
普通法與判例法的混用，經(jīng)常被用著同義詞——是指“法官定法”，與成文法相對(duì)的概念。判例法總是指法官定法，而普通法相對(duì)來(lái)說(shuō)，可以指普通法問(wèn)題上法官制定的法律，也可以在更廣泛范圍內(nèi)指所有法官制定的法律，這取決于使用者的用意。
