What problem do you see with the common law system in this context? I do like the principle that all things being equal, cases should get decided the same way, and we technically have the option of amending the law for clarity if courts seem to interpret it strangely. It does seem like it can slow laws down, which seems like a possible advantage in some contexts for the stability and continuity of society, but possibly a major downside if you need to act quickly.
