I assume you know and are joking, but in case you (or someone else) doesn't know - sovcits commonly argue that courts have to operate under Common Law or Admiralty Law. They frequently try to get cases thrown out because that's not a thing so courts obviously refuse to call themselves either.

Funny enough, in Canada we have common-law and civil-law (Québec), which is where my mind immediately went.

This is actually true of the United States, as well. It's Common Law for pretty much everywhere and Civil Law for Louisiana.

And of course both in the case of US and Canada it is a legacy from the UK, which also have Common Law (unlike the rest of Europe).
