I presume the author intended something like "judge made law", but you are right that it is confusing and quite unnecessary in context. One way in which it is unhelpful is that, of course, judge made laws are written down in the case reports from which they are drawn. "Not codified" gets nearer the

On balance, I prefer capitalisation. I don't think there's much to be gained from looking at what other sources do, because they do both the upper and the lower case, so I think this is a matter that is left to editorial consensus. I think the style should be for an upper case A, the MoS doesn't

I have been giving this matter some thought, and I have come to the conclusion that the dictionaries etc cited as sources for this have no legal credentials and are not therefore qualified to determine the correct use of a legal term of art as a legal term of art. To put it simply, they are not

As to the footnote, however we decide on capitalisation, it simply isn't appropriate to include a lengthy digressive footnote treating a point which is so obviously contested as being a matter of self-evident fact, and I have removed it accordingly.

It depends on whether its an abbreviation of a proper noun or not. For example, if for some reason one was abbreviating statute of limitations to stat. of limitations it would remain lowercase in running text as a common noun phrase

I reverted your changes because they were made without any discussion, and as comments elsewhere have shown, they have turned out to be contentious, so we return to the old version and debate. This is
