Common law arises from case law made by the judiacry often, it is not recorded by statute as normal laws are, but has arisen as judges have made a decision, and this has then been followed as legal precedent. For example the law regarding murder in the United Kingdom is "common law" as much of it has no definition in statutes.
"Ordinary law" is passed through the legislature, and recorded in statute, then applied by the judges later, and as such has a separate origin.

How do you use the term common law in a sentence?
Common law is the kind of law developed in England and most English-speaking countries, where principles of law are developed on a case-by-case basis by judges. "The judge applied the common law as first set down in an eighteenth century trespass suit." The phrase can also be used as an adjective: "The statute abrogates common law rights which have existed for centuries." A special usage of it as an adjective is in the phrase "common-law marriage" which is used to mean a marriage which is informal or which has not been legally solemnized, and which, curiously, has nothing to do with the common law.
