I'm not so sure, I feel the civil law system followed in continental Europe works much better as it's based on the spirit of the law instead of the exact letter and comma. Hard to say if this would be a better fit for the US though -- I've no idea if that's causing issues elsewhere in more corrupt societies or not.
