English law (NEVER British please) is not codified as many European legal systems are. All criminal law is, however, statute based apart from murder itself although much law relating to homocide (murder and manslaughter) is encapsulated in the Homocide Act. Statutes must, however, be read in conjunction with cases and with the general background of common law. Don't forget Stautory Instruments and by-laws which also may carry criminal sanction.
It took me six years to qualify as a lawyer. Most lawyers are, like me, highly specialised. There is simply too much law to encapsulate it easily and it changes very regularly.
