Vision Statement: There is a famous principle in jurisprudence of presumed knowledge of the law and therefore one is bound by a law, even if one does not know about it.

“Ignorantia juris non excusat” (Ignorance of the law excuses not)

“Ignorantia legis neminem excusat” (Ignorance of law excuses no one)

Ignorance of the Law is no excuse is a famous maxim of law, meaning thereby that person who is under ignorance of law cannot escape liability. So, it is important for each one of us to be aware about the laws governing us. Indian Law Watch has been created with a long-term vision to provide legal news and analysis to serve the population across the world with authentic and quality reading in law. The idea is to keep people aware of their rights, duties and developments in law.
