When the law is mentioned in the New testament, does it mean just the ten commandments (in exodus 20)?

First I would like to know what intent God had in pronouncing the ten commandments to the Israelites in Person. After He Himself assembled these people, He spoke (see the words of James in James chapter 2) then wrote the same words in two tables of stone. The rest of the commandments were just written in a book by Moses as God said them to Him as opposed to God writing them Himself as He did with the ten commandments.
So if you could give me a reason for this distinction and specialty in treatment given the ten commandments, I would explain my understanding to the words, "law", "commandment", "ordinance", etc as found in the NT.
