The question above (which is actually a statement) is not entirely correct as given. See the following definition of Common Law; "Common law is the system of deciding cases that originated in England and which was latter adopted in the U.S.. Common law is based on precedent (legal principles developed in earlier case law) instead of statutory laws. It is the traditional law of an area or region created by judges when deciding individual disputes or cases. Common law changes over time." Ref below link:

In New Mexico, there is no specific duration of time that a couple must live together to establish a common law marriage. Instead, the couple must demonstrate mutual consent to be married and cohabitate, along with presenting themselves as a married couple to others. Factors such as joint finances, shared property, and the use of a common surname can also support the claim of common law marriage.

The two main systems of law in use today are civil law and common law. Civil law is based on a codified set of laws and emphasizes the principles of legal codes and statutes. Common law, on the other hand, relies on judicial decisions and precedents to establish legal principles.
The question as written is unclear. Firstly, are you referring exclusively to the States of the United States or are you using state as a shorthand for nation or country? Secondly what does "still in use" mean? A number of common law jurisdictions (including all 49 states - except Louisiana because it is not common law) have case law that directly affects their constitutions which can come from prior to that constitution's ratification. In addition, their are jurisprudential norms that exist outside of constitutional parameters which are culturally defined.
Statutory law are laws passed by the legislature and have been written down and codified for use. Common law is based on precedence or case law.
