Abstract: 

The common/civil law distinction is clothed in fantastic tales. Common and civil lawyers ostensibly 'think differently.' Many even still believe that common law is characterized by case law, civil law by its absence. Such essentializations are baseless: there is no evidence supporting them, and no reason to expect them to be true.
