In the US legal system, indeed all common law systems, there are 2 basic forms of the law. There is statute and then there is common law. Common law is "judge made law" which is based on the doctrine of stare decisis. Legislation leads to statute, which is passed by a governing body and is controlling as law itself. However, statute still depends upon judicial interpretation.
