Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in New York

Re: Common Law

Common Law essentially is the established traditional law as adapted from Britain regarding a specific code. i.e. criminal law, property law etc. In New York most common law has been replaced by specific statutes in a specific article of law. Generally speaking, if there is no specific statute addressing conduct subject to a lawsuit, a court in a common law jurisdiction would apply the common law application to the situation.
