Compare statute law to case law as a way of producing good law?
Case law should be used as a means of interpreting statutory law. Statutory law is held higher than case law. Case law can be overturned in the process of interpreting and applying statutory law, but statutory law cannot be overturned, only amended. If analyzing law, see statutes first, and apply case law second as a means of defining the statute.
Do you agree judges making law instead of interpreting law?
The applicability of a law is dependent upon an underlying set of facts and circumstances. When you apply a law to a set of facts, you effectively interpret it to be applicable, and if it is applicable to a set of facts and circumstances that haven't been previously tested, then I suppose you're making law -- but it is the same law, just applied to a new set of facts. The big difference of opinion is not whether a law should be made or interpreted as such, but rather what the law is. There is a spectrum of opinion and judges of those courts (appellate courts) that review how laws are applied to facts, have differing opinions. The spectrum ranges from those who believe that if the law does not contain the words specifically applicable to a situation, it should not be applied -- these are the "strict" constructionists. At the "other end" of the spectrum are judges who believe that while there may be no new laws as such, the sources and scope of our body of laws are broader. Either way, judges "make law" by interpreting it as applicable or inapplicable, or if applicable, how it will apply.
