I suggest that you study legal history in greater depth. English law is rooted in traditional Germanic law (the Norman conquest altered, but did not replace Anglo-Saxon law). For example, common law's focus on precedent, rather than statute, is an ancient Germanic characteristic. In fact, English law and its derivatives are the only remaining forms of Germanic law. The continental Germanic nations all base their modern legal systems on civil law, which is ultimately derived from Roman law.
