Answer to Discussion Question J J J J J J
Should the common law maxim “Ignorance of the law is no excuse” apply to an
J J J J
immigrant who speaks little English and was not educated in the United States?
JJ JJ
How about for a tourist who does not speak English? Everyone knows
JJ J J J J J J
J criminal acts are prohibited, but what about subtler rules that differ
J JJ J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J across countries and so may be misunderstood by foreigners?
J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
Answer: It is generally true that ignorance of the law is no excuse. Citizens are
deemed to have constructive knowledge of the law. Yet, as well known as
JJ J
this JJrule is, it is surprising how often it is proffered as J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
an excuse.
J J (A Westlaw

Examples

1. Facts from an English judge’s decision in 1884: “The crew of an English yacht
J
were cast away in
JJ
a storm on the high seas . . . and were compelled to put into an open
boat...................................................................................................................................................They had no
JJ J J
supply
of water and no supply of food. . . . That on the eighteenth day . . . they
.........................................................................................................................................................suggested that one
should be sacrificed to save the rest. . . . That next day . . . they . . .
went to the boy ................................................................................................................................... put a knife
JJ J J J J J
into his throat and killed him . . . the three men fed upon the body of
the boy for four days; [then]
JJ
the boat was picked up by a passing vessel, and [they] were rescued. . . .
and committed for trial. . . .
JJ
if the
J J men had J notJ fed upon J the J body of the J boy J they J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J would J probably not have
J J survived to be sovbpickedJJ up and J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J rescued, but would
J have died of famine.
J J J The boy, being
J in a J J J J J J JJ J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J much weaker
J J J
condition, was likely to have died before themThe real question in this case [is] J
whether killing
JJ J
under the conditions set forth be or be not murder.” Do you consider the J J
acts to be immoral?
JJ
[Regina v. Dudley and Stephens, 14 Queens Bench Division 273 (1884)]
Answer: This J points
J J out
J that the legal system
J J has J limits.
J Its J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J acceptability
J is dictated by legal culture--which determines whetherJ J law J J J J J J JJ J J J J J J J J JJ J J J J J J J J J J
will
J J be enforced, J J obeyed, avoided, or
J J abused. It
J J is limited
J J by the J J J J J J J J JJ J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
informal
J J rules of the society--its customs J J and values.
J J One limit is J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J JJ J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
J the J extent to which
J J society J will
J allow the formal rules J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J J
to be imposed when a crime is committed in odd circumstances. Here there J J
was an intentional murder. Does the motive for the murder, the effort to
JJ
save several lives by sacrificing one
