brees - "Looking over our shoulders we generally agree that we have a corrupt or at least ineffective justice system in America."

Corrupt? In some places and instances, but in the long run, they tend to be weeded out. The appellate system makes it self-correcting, for the most part.

Ineffective? You'll have to be more specific about ineffectiveness in order to address that issue.

Regarding your original point and question: "American Jurisprudence is the basis for our systems of law and justice. Where does it come from." Perhaps a point of clarification: The basis for our system of laws has its roots in common law but the laws were codified within some overlying principles of the constitution and particularly the Bill of Rights, hence, our "justice system" is relatively unique among nations. Jurisprudence is a work-in-progress that is comprised of the whole of judicial knowledge and thought while working under the system.
