Ignorance of the law excuses no man from practicing it.

Summary

This quote suggests that simply not being aware of the law does not provide justification for not obeying it. Regardless of whether someone is aware of the law or not, they are still expected to abide by it. In other words, lack of knowledge or understanding of the law does not exempt individuals from the responsibility of following it. The quote emphasizes that ignorance is not a valid defense in legal matters, as all individuals are expected to adhere to the laws within their jurisdiction.
