How many pages is the US common law?
US common law is not codified in a single collection. It is found in all the state reporters as well as all the reporters that cover federal cases. Those change every day. New common law is generated somewhere every day. Your question is unanswerable. Go to a law library at your local court house or law school and ask to see where the state-by-state collections of common law are shelved and you will understand.There are, however, two encyclopedias of the law, Corpus Juris Secundum and American Jurisprudence 2nd, which are regarded as being authoritative statements of the American common law. They are absolutely the first place to start research of the common law - which, incidentally, can vary from State to State. As far as how many pages goes, Corpus Juris is around 138 volumesor so, and Am Jur is about the same, not counting tables and index volumes.
