AnswertoDiscussionQuestion a a a




Should the common law maxim “Ignorance of the law is no excuse” apply to an immigrant who speakslittle English
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




and was not educated in the United States? How about for a tourist who does not speak English? Everyone knows
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




criminal acts are prohibited, but what about subtler rules that differ across countries and so may be
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




misunderstood by foreigners?

Answer: It is generally true that ignorance of the law is no excuse. Citizens are deemed to have constructive
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




knowledge of the law. Yet, as well known as this rule is, it is surprising how often it is proffered as an excuse.
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




(A Westlaw search cases finds hundreds of examples). Examples include: Deluco v. Dezi (Conn. Super) (lack
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




of knowledge regarding the state‘s usury laws is no excuse for the inclusion of an illegal interest rate in a
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




sales contract); and Plumlee v. Paddock (ignorance of thefact that the subject matter of the contract was
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




illegal was not excuse). The courts have provided a small exception to the rule when it comes to people in
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




lack of English language skills. Consider Flanery v. Kuska, (defendant did not speak English was advised by a
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




friend that an answer to a complaint was not required); Ramon v. Dept. of Transportation, (no English and
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




an inability to understand the law required for an excuse); Yurechko v. County of Allegheny, (Ignorance and
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




with the fact that the municipality suffered no hardship in late lawsuit filing was an excuse).

1. Facts from an English judge’s decision in 1884: “The crew of an English yacht ......................... were cast away in
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




a storm on the high seas . . . and were compelled to put into an open boat. ........................ They had no supply
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




of water and no supply of food. . . . That on the eighteenth day . . . they .......................... suggested that one
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




should be sacrificed to save the rest. . . . That next day . . . they . . . went to the boy ................................. put a knife
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




into his throat and killed him . . . the three men fed upon the body ..................... of the boy for four days; [then]
a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a




the boat was picked up by a passing vessel, and [they] were rescued. . . . and committed for trial. . . .
