	Common law (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Common law movement is an appendage of the Militia movement, an anti-government movement in the United States, in which private citizens establish "common law courts" and issue rulings based on their personal readings of the United States Constitution and the Bible.
		"Common law" is also the direct translation of the Latin phrase ius commune, the Roman law common to most Europe during the Middle Ages and comprising mostly Justinian's Corpus Juris Civilis.
		Common Law was also the title of a 1996 ABC sitcom.

	Common law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Common law originally developed under an adversarial system in England from judicial decisions that were based in tradition, custom, and precedent.
		The common law, as applied in civil cases (as distinct from criminal cases), was devised as a means of compensating someone for wrongful acts known as torts, including both intentional torts and torts caused by negligence, and as developing the body of law recognizing and regulating contracts.
		Statutes which reflect English common law are understood always to be interpreted in light of the common law tradition, and so may leave a number of things unsaid because they are already understood from the point of view of pre-existing case law and custom.

	Common law (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The Common law originally developed under the auspices of the adversarial system in historical England from judicial decisions that were based in tradition, custom, and precedent.
		Today Common law is generally thought of as applying only to civil disputes; originally it encompassed the criminal law before criminal codes were adopted in most Common law jurisdictions in the late 19th century.
		The opposition between civil law and Common law legal systems has become increasingly blurred, with the importance of jurisprudence (almost like case law but in name) in civil law countries, and the growing importance of statute law and codes in Common law countries (for instance, in matters of criminal and commercial law).

		The best known examples are common law marriages (though no longer accepted in most States) and names (most women use a common law name after they marry).
		The term is also used for "case law" or "decisional law" or "precedential law") issued by courts (or quasi-judicial tribunals within agencies) that discuss and decide the fine distinctions in statutes and regulations.
		Until the beginning of the 20th century, most common law jurisdictions had two parallel court systems, courts of "law" that could only award money damages and recognised only the legal owner of property, and courts of "equity" that recognised trusts of property and could issue injunctions, orders to do or stop doing something.

		A lawyer or attorney at law is an individual licensed by the state to advise clients in legal matters and represent them in courts of law and other legal agencies.
		This statistic is misleading because it is difficult to compare numbers of law professionals between different legal systems because the roles of these professionals vary and some of the work that is done in the United States by a lawyer is performed by several different types of professionals in other countries.
		However, federal courts often allow law students to act as "certified student attorneys" after the satisfactory completion of their first year of law school and the completion of particular second- and third-year courses such as Evidence.
