Is there a difference between statutory law and blackletter law?

AnswerAccording to Black's Law Dictionary, blackletter lawrefers to one or more legal principles that are old, fundamental, and well settled. Many of those principles have been codified in statutory law. Although laws are sometimes stricken as unconstitutional, most statutory law is well settled so blackletter law could be used to refer to statutory law although it has a broader meaning than just statutory law.

Compare statute law to case law as a way of producing good law?

Case law should be used as a means of interpreting statutory law. Statutory law is held higher than case law. Case law can be overturned in the process of interpreting and applying statutory law, but statutory law cannot be overturned, only amended. If analyzing law, see statutes first, and apply case law second as a means of defining the statute.
