Which Is Certainly How Jewish Religious Case Law Is Established.

British/English Common Law is probably worse. You don't even get the written word to begin with.

Although it still has some uses. Particularly in criminal defence, before a Jury of ones peers.

If you require more guidance as what an improvement the move from, frankly Medieval, Common Law to Statutory Law was. Look no further than why it is perfectly lawful to refer to a British Police Officer as a; "Cunt."

One day a Protester used said term to refer to a police officer. So said Police Officer arrested them. For causing alarm or distress, contrary to the laws which are common to us all as reasonable human beings.

When the matter came before the Court the Magistrate took one look at the Protestor. Then took one look at the Police Officer. Before ruling that it was an entirely reasonable description.

Now all British Police Officers are forced to quietly agree that they are, in fact, cunts. As is the common agreement between all of us, as reasonable human beings.

Simply because on one day one Magistrate turned up with a hangover.
