Quotes on the Law and Lawyers #1 (Ignorance of the Law)
Since the law has produced so many great quotes, it would be a shame not to revisit them on occasion. This is the first in a series:
Ignorance of the law excuses no man; not that all men know the law, but because ’tis an excuse every man will plead, and no man can tell how to refute him.
– John Selden (1584–1654)

in accordance with New York rules going into effect February 1, 2007 (22 NYCRR

can see in the sidebar. Law.com does not control the editorial content of the

Throughout the
blog as it develops, you may see examples of cases we have handled, or cases
from others, that are used for illustrative purposes. Since all cases are different,
and legal authority may change from year to year, it is important to remember
that prior results in any particular case do not guarantee or predict similar
outcomes with respect to any future matter, including yours, in which any lawyer
or law firm may be retained.
Some of the
commentary may be become outdated. Some might be a minority opinion, or simply
wrong. No reader should consider this site (or any other) to be authoritative,
and if a legal issue is presented, the reader should contact an attorney of
his or her own choosing for advice.
