Definition of ignorantia juris
IGNORANTIA JURIS
Ignorantia juris (ig-n-ran-shee-uh joor-is) is a Latin term that means "ignorance of the law." This means that not knowing the law is not a valid excuse for breaking it.
For example, if someone is caught speeding and claims they didn't know the speed limit, they cannot use ignorantia juris as a defense. Similarly, if someone is caught stealing and claims they didn't know it was illegal, they cannot use ignorantia juris as a defense.
Under Roman law, ignorantia juris was less likely to excuse mistaken conduct, except in the case of minors and people, such as women, under some legal disability.
These examples illustrate that not knowing the law is not a valid excuse for breaking it. It is important to educate oneself about the laws in their community to avoid any legal consequences.
