There are two kinds of law: laws made by the governments, called ''legislation'', ''statutes'' or ''acts''; and, laws made by the courts. Laws made by the courts are known as the ''common law'', ''precedent decisions'' or ''case law''. They come from the different lawsuits that the courts have heard over hundreds of years, and the decisions the courts made in those different court proceedings. | There are two kinds of law: laws made by the governments, called ''legislation'', ''statutes'' or ''acts''; and, laws made by the courts.
