Origins of common law
The common law—so named because
it was "common" to all the king's
courts across England—originated in
the practices of the courts of the
English kings in the centuries
following the Norman Conquest in
1066.
The doctrine of precedent
developed during the 12th
and 13th centuries as the
collective judicial decisions
that were based in
tradition, custom and
precedent.
