Question: 1 / 130

A body of law developed from custom or judicial decisions in English and U.S. courts and not attributable to a legislature is known as

Civil law

Common law

One of the main reasons options A, C, and D are incorrect is because they can be traced back to legislative action. Civil law is created by legislatures and enforced through the courts, national law is made by a national government, and statutory law is created by legislation. However, common law is derived from judicial decisions and precedent, making it unique from the other options. Additionally, common law is associated with English and U.S. courts, which further solidifies it as the correct answer.

National law

Statutory law
