The source of common law in contracts and torts is primarily judicial decisions and precedents developed by courts over time. These decisions help establish rules and principles that guide future cases in similar situations, creating a body of law based on custom and judicial interpretation rather than legislation.

No. "American Law" is a misleading phrase in and of itself because it suggests law is uniform across the country. You have Federal Law and State Law in the U.S. In general, the law is comprised of the case law or "common law" and statutes, codes and ordinances that govern various types of law. There will often be cases referencing and interpreting the statutes and codes, but the cases do not create that law. Certain laws are uniform and apply across the country under Federal law. Other issues are left up to the individual states for regulation and can vary. For example, Louisiana follows Nepoleonic Code. Texas has state statutes, as well as county, city and municipal ordinances which may apply depending upon what the legal question is.
In a civil law system, the primary source of law is typically written statutes and codes enacted by legislative bodies. These laws establish the legal rules and principles that govern society, and courts interpret and apply them to resolve disputes. Precedent and judicial decisions are of secondary importance in civil law systems compared to common law systems.
