Not that I know of (assuming I've understood you correctly), and coming from a common-law country myself I'd be very reluctant to give up that system in favor of a more civil one, warts and all.
It is a real problem though. One book that addresses these problems well is Robert Kagan's Adversarial Legalism. As for the situation in the US, there's a school of thought that argues sufficient resolutions have been lodged with Congress to warrant a Constitutional Convention, and last Spring, Indiana, Georgia, and Kansas passed fresh resolutions in hopes of getting some momentum behind the process. Of course the problem is the mutual suspicion and factional acrimony that would inevitably characterize such an undertaking, but then that was true of the first one as well. I'm with Prof Sanford Levinson of UT in thinking that it would a good idea to give the nation a legal tune-up, but my political views are, ah, eccentric.
I like the idea of courts being able to raise legal issues in a way that is binding on more than just the case at hand, but as a non-lawyer, I also want a centralized repository of law that I can be reasonably confident I understand. There are a number of other process changes I would propose to help the public be more informed (e.g. publishing laws as colored unified diffs rather than prosaic descriptions of word-by-word changes), but I doubt anybody who can change them is listening ;-).
