>>> Things have changed since the clerics took over.

Not much of an answer. I was wondering that, too.

Perhaps you were thinking of something else? Common Law, as it is known to Americans, derived primarily from the Brits. I'm not saying there is NO connection outside of that, but it is certainly extremely remote, sufficiently so that your comment didn't make much sense.

Not trying to be confrontational; I would just like to know what you're referring to.
