Not a clue, but I would bet neither one lends itself to the maze of tribal law that Sharia is.
Canon Law is a complex of religious applications and theology, not civil law. It wouldn't be something that lends itself to Common Law anyway.
Jewish Law I don't know. Other than sanitary aspects in slaughterhouses, I don't know if any of it would collide with a countries laws. The Jews have a long long long history of adapting to other countries without demanding that that country accomodate their religion (and taking over).
Nigeria has an interesting problem as does Sudan with Sharia..so does Indonesia and other countries. I would hate to see this become a wedge.

As for Jewish religious courts in the USA, these are used to settle business disputes out of (secular) court, marriage and divorce questions from a religious point of view, and religious matters generally. Although Halacha also deals with criminal law, this is always left to the secular courts.
