I am aware of Case Law, but normally that is the origin of Tort Law and general Contract law one finds when people sue in civil court. What many states in the US have done is pbutt statutes to codify much of this law (and modify certain details since most Case Law is written by judges to favor their wealthy fatcat friends).

A problem occurs when the judge claims his law is preeminent over the people's laws, or the statutes pbutted by that State's Statehouse or Congress in the federal system. Since most legislators are attorneys, they are more inclined than the people they represent, to look the other way when judges do this.
Congress still can pbutt a law to strike down an interpretation of law made by judges, but often these decisions do not have the public interest level, which requires press involvement, to force the legislature to act.
In the US, this (jury nullification) is generally not legal, though it likely happens quite often, without the jury admitting to it. This is a favorite subject of libertarians, especially those who disagree with the drug laws.
As is obvious, I do not believe that it is in the interests of non-criminals, who are the majority, to have any decision maker, judge or Referee, making up the Law as they go along. That favors only those able and willing to pay cash bribes to the referee to fix the match.
