Answer to Discussion Question b b b




Should the common law maxim ―Ignorance of the law is no excuse‖ apply to an immigrant who speakslittle

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

Everyone knows criminal acts are prohibited, but what about subtler rules that differ across countries and so

may be misunderstood by foreigners?
b b b b b

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

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

the contract was illegal was not excuse). The courts have provided a small exception to the rule when it
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




comes to people in lack of English language skills. Consider Flanery v. Kuska, (defendant did not speak
b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b b




English was advised by a friend that an answer to a complaint was not required); Ramon v. Dept. of

Transportation, (no English and an inability to understand the law required for an excuse); Yurechko v.

County of Allegheny, (Ignorance and with the fact that the municipality suffered no hardship in late

lawsuit filing was an excuse).
