Common law is a fucking mess, that does the opposite it is intended to do. It is unpredictable and unjust.
I don't know what you mean about "any common law". For example my country (Finland) hasn't any common law that would bind. We have previous examples, those are somewhat used especially by lower courts, but there is not anything binding (to be exact: loosely binding). You can pretty much read the law and expect to be judged based on that. That is a good thing. It is predictable and regular citizen can read and understand the law and knows what to expect.
It is totally different than the system you have. That why it is called as "civil law". If you use Wikipedia, it is in Scandinavian subgroup.
