Lawyers are the only persons in whom ignorance of the law is

Summary

This quote suggests that lawyers are exempt from punishment for not knowing the law, whereas the general population would face consequences for lacking legal knowledge. It implies that lawyers possess a certain level of authority and are afforded special leniency when it comes to legal matters. The quote may be a commentary on the complexity of law and the expectation that lawyers should be well-versed in it, while the average person is held accountable for their lack of understanding.

Strange combination, isn't it--gratitude and resentment? But this is the way I think. Actually, I think everybody thinks that way. Even the children of the humans who died long ago, I think they lived their lives holding similar contradictory thoughts about their parents.
