The Common Law in England is a system of law that is common to all parts of a kingdom and consistently applied to all royal judges.
It is sometimes called "judge-made-law" due to that fact that judges would compare facts of the case at hand to earlier cases in an attempt to rule in a consistent manner- earlier rulings become rules to guide future cases.
Common Law was developed when William the Conquerer became the king of England and attempted to provide one standard system of law for the entire country.
