Ignorance of Law: A Philosophical Inquiry - Oxford Legal Philosopies
Husak, Douglas (Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Rutgers University, Department of Philosophy)
This book argues that ignorance of law should usually be a complete excuse from criminal liability. It defends this conclusion by invoking two presumptions: first, the content of criminal law should conform to morality; second, mistakes of fact and mistakes of law should be treated symmetrically.
