What case declared separate but equal was legal?
The U.S. Supreme Court in the 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, declared that "separate but equal" was not a violation of the 14th Amendment.The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was supposed to guarantee equal protection under the law to all citizens. After Reconstruction, the federal government left it up to the states to decide how they would provide the equal protection - including allowing many of the states to maintain segregation by claiming that they were providing "separate but equal" facilities and opportunities to those of different races. The second Morrill Act (passed in 1890) implicitly accepted "separate but equal" but motivated 17 states that still had segregation laws to establish land-grant colleges specifically for black students - these became the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The "separate but equal" doctrine was extended to the public schools in Cumming v. Richmond County Board of Education, 175 U.S. 528 (1899). It wasn't until Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954) that "separate but equal" was finally overturned.

Does the term case law does not encompass a broad range of law than the term common law?
Yes, case law does encompass more than just "common law." Case law also includes decisions where courts have interpreted the US Constitution, its Amendments and statutes to have a particular meaning.For example, the Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Fergusonestablished that segregated public facilities were not prohibited under the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution provided the facilities were "separate but equal.". That was the case law governing such matters at the time.This case law was then overruled in the case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. The ruling in that decision is that "separate but equal" is not truly equal and is prohibited by the Fourteenth Amendment. This is now the case law on that aspect of the Equal Protection clause.For more information on both cases, including their official citations, see various questions answered by experts on matters involving the US Supreme Court in the "Supreme Court" category on WikiAnswers.

In the civil rights case of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), the US Supreme Court upheld the policy of racial segregation, supporting the "separate but equal" laws.

What is a bad law?
Bad law refers to case law that has been overturned by later statute or case law. For example, a number of courts denied challenges to segregation in public schools, and the law was "separate but equal." In Brown v. Board, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the prior decisions and found that school segregation was unconstitutional. If you were crafting a legal argument today that relied on one of the opinions that upheld separate but equal, you would be relying on bad law.
