COMMON LAW

Common law is judge-made, not codified or enacted through written legislation. Common law is established through precedent and customary traditions. 

CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAW 

Criminal law is generally derived by codification. A criminal case must be brought by the state and/or state prosecutor.

Civil law is a private remedy. The burden of proof in civil law is a preponderance of evidence.
