? What do you understand "common law" to mean?
Anyhow, considering how amorphous I understand Sharia Law to be, I don't really understand the need for this legislation. Any contract that says something so general as "terms are defined/similar to those of Sharia Law" would be too ambiguous to use, while those who state specifics of it should still be enforceable so long as they do not run afoul of a legal prohibition. Basically, this seems like a safety blanket for something that doesn't really happen in Kansas anyways, and is in no danger of happening anytime soon. |
Common Law is the application of precedent to adjudicate civil and criminal cases. Precedent isn't law, it's a subjective determination based on an interpretation of the law. Common Law is not Constitutional, statutory, or civil law. It is not Kansas State law or US Constitutional law. Therefore the use of Common Law, a practice going back centuries, would be against Kansas Law.
