As for Common Law, it is NOT "Judges inventing case law". It comes from Englands "Courts of Equity" which, in turn, looks like it comes from the Judaic Judges. Read the Book of Judges, which describes Jewish life before their first King, Saul.My understanding is that it derives from a system which predates the Norman Conquest, and is similar to systems known in Icelandic and other Scandinavian cultures. Pre-Christian, so highly unlikely to be related to anything in the Book of Judges.

You do know that the Book of Judges is on the Old Testament, don't you? It is the seventh book on the Bible.

For the second time in a couple of days (that I am aware of) I made a fool out of myself, because I did not take the time to fully understand what I was responding to.
I apologize, especially to nix, but to other people on the thread too.
IOW, nix is absolutely right.
