This might give it some context:
https://dictionary.justia.com/common-law
"A system of legal principles and rules that evolve from court decisions, customs, and general principles, and are used when no specific laws apply"
But yes, it starts from basic ideas like property rights, torts, and contracts and invents a system of law from it.
IMHO far superior to statutory law. More organic, closer to culture, based on real examples not arbitrary lab-examples.
