Not normally. In most countries criminal law has been codified, which means that specific laws have been created to replace the common law. Common law is a system of jurisprudence based on precedents and what previous courts have said. Criminal law is the body of law dealing with crimes and their punishment.There are still areas where things are not in the actual laws. An example is that in the State of Michigan, the definition of murder is not codified, it relies on the common law definition. The definition of the various types of murder are carefully listed, but the term is not in the law.
