How is it that it takes graduates, supposedly the intellectual cream of society, two years at a specialist school and several further years working in practice, to acquaint themselves with the labyrinthine complexity of our system of law, but a person charged with breaking it will be told that ignorance of the law is no defence?

The only safe course is to assume that everything is illegal and do nothing, but then how can a person who dares even to walk down the street consider themselves innocent until proven guilty?
