Launch of the Legal Guide for Soldiers and Officers – prawomundurowych.pl

The website prawomundurowych.pl is a comprehensive legal guide for all soldiers and uniformed officers. We invite you to read on!

Ignorance of the law is no excuse

Ignorantia iuris nocet – this maxim, rooted in ancient Roman law, is customarily rendered as “ignorance of the law is no excuse” (or, more literally, “ignorance of the law is harmful”). The principle holds that being unaware of one’s obligations or rights does not exempt one from complying with the former, nor does it place upon anyone else the duty to ensure that one is able to exercise the latter.

Soldier, Police Officer, uniformed officer – know your rights!

Service in the uniformed forces is one of the most demanding career paths one can choose: the stakes are exceptionally high, the stress considerable, the risks serious, and the threat to health and life a constant feature of daily duties. A sound knowledge of the law, an understanding of one’s entitlements and obligations, and clarity about one’s legal position are essential to protecting one’s interests – both in avoiding liability and in fully enjoying the legitimate privileges with which the State acknowledges the sacrifices made each and every day.

prawomundurowych.pl

It is precisely for this purpose that the portal prawomundurowych.pl has been created. It is a comprehensive guide providing answers to all questions that may arise in the course of, and in connection with, uniformed service. It is, of course, general in nature – in any specific situation, the assistance of a lawyer who can analyse the circumstances on an individual basis is invaluable. We invite you to read the guide and to follow the website regularly, as it will be continually developed with both current updates and further treatment of fundamental issues.
