Yes, in a manner of speaking. In the US and in England (as well as in some other countries) we follow the common law model of legal system. Under the common law, if there is no statute on point, we follow case law. Basically, following case law means the court we are in front of now does the same thing that the other courts have done before it. If the legislature has never taken up an issue, the courts must continue to follow the precedent set by other courts. Essentially, the law to be followed is the law created by other courts. This is loosely described as the court interpreting the law, but it is more complicated than that.
