Ignorantia juris non excusat definition

Ignorantia juris non excusat is a common legal maxim which means that the ignorance of law is no excuse at all. For the knowledge of law to reach one and all, codification is of utmost importance. Thus, it implies a systematic collection, compilation, arrangement and reduction of the law to its coherent form to make it a more clear and precise statement of general principles and rules.
