Law written in official documents
Decisions of the courts recorded and used as guidance for other court decisions
Law from the British Common Law and Napoleonic Code

The correct answer is: Law written in official documents

Statute law refers to the kind of law that is formally written down or enacted by the legislative branch of a government. This means that they come into existence after being passed by the legislature, signed by the relevant executive authority (such as a governor or a president), and published into a government gazette or other official document. Therefore, the response "Law written in official documents" correctly describes statute law. These laws may deal with a variety of issues, from detail rules of daily conduct to broader principles defining citizens' rights and duties. Offering a specific and definite point of reference, statute laws deliver clarity and predictability for the general public.
