New Commercial Law Classic Reprint

Excerpt from New Commercial Law Common Law is a term applied to that part of the law of England which was common to the whole country. It was at first merely a body of customs. But came, in time, to have the force of law, and was called the common law to distinguish it from those laws which applied only to a portion of the country. The common law is sometimes called the unwritten law, because, being originally merely a body of customs, it was for a long time not written. As soon as judges began to render their decisions in writing, the common law, being embodied in these decisions, became written, and is now to be found in thousands of vol umes of reports containing the decisions of the courts of this country and England.
