Claiming common law jurisdiction refers to asserting one's legal rights and authority based on common law principles, which are derived from judicial decisions and precedents rather than statutory laws. This approach often emphasizes individual rights and the protection of personal freedoms. Individuals or groups who claim common law jurisdiction may seek to operate outside of statutory legal systems, arguing that common law provides a more just framework for resolving disputes.
