We are all familiar with the legal maxim that ignorance of the law excuses no one from compliance therewith. Unfortunately for some, they found that out a little bit too late and ended up either in jail or in debt from the millions that they had to pay in damages.
Reading the various state and federal laws will definitely help you from ending up wearing orange-colored clothing for the rest of your life. However, it may come as a surprise to many that reading the law, no matter how voluminous the materials may be, is not enough to fully understand it.
Courts may have a different interpretation as to what the law really means. Hence, it is very important for all of us to be aware of the different interpretations or constructions that each statute has in order to ensure that we comply with them in the manner that the courts prescribe. Make sure that you include reading about previous court records as part of your endeavor to know more about our laws.
