I think you mean, "public policy" instead of common law. This too is a concept within law. It is something that has widely been accepted for many years. I am unable at this time to give an example, but actual laws sometime clash with actual civil law and you go to court to have the issue decided.

Which is better common law or civil law?
Civil Law is different from Common Law in where it was derived from and how it is applied. It is important to note, however, that there has been a certain amount of convergence of the two over time. Civil Law is based on Justinian's Code and the more recent Napoleonic Code, resulting in this form being influential on France and many European countries. Common Law however, can be traced back to 12th Century England, which results in many countries of the commonwealth following this form. Civil law involves heavy participation of the judge whereas Common law is adversarial - the prosecution and defense duke it out. This means that Civil law cases are way shorter (For example Amanda Knox's trial vs Casey Anthony's trial). Civil law includes applying an abstract set of rules to the facts at hand whereas Common law relies heavily on past precedents and reasoning.
