Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Statutory law is created by legislative bodies such as the U.S. Congress and state legislatures. Statutory laws are often referred to as statutes. State legislatures give authority to administrative bodies, such as state boards of nursing, to establish regulatory law, which outlines how the requirements of statutory law will be met. Judicial decisions from individual court cases determine case law. Case law was historically referred to as common law because it originally was determined by customs or social mores that were common at the time.
