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.
普通法与判例法的混用，经常被用着同义词——是指“法官定法”，与成文法相对的概念。判例法总是指法官定法，而普通法相对来说，可以指普通法问题上法官制定的法律，也可以在更广泛范围内指所有法官制定的法律，这取决于使用者的用意。
