We all know that ignorance of the law is no defence. So it
would seem reasonable that people should have, at least, a
passing familiarity with it.
Given that this country's been passing laws for 900+ years
does anyone have a view on how long it would take to actually
read them all?
As an easier option, how far back to most of the laws that
people generally get into trouble with, go? I'd guess maybe 20-30
years. So as a "lightweight" option, how many laws would
we be talking about - and how long to skim through that lot?
