This excerpt from the best-selling book, "Understanding the Law: A Primer", is brought to you by the national general practice law firm of Charles Jerome Ware, P.A., Attorneys and Counsellors: "Still working. Still committed. Still here to make a difference."
"The role of the law in each country varies slightly but the ultimate goal, I contend, is the same in every country; and that is to avoid anarchy. When traveling abroad, remember the humor of the five nations:
In the USA everything that is not prohibited by law is permitted.
In Germany, everything that is not permitted by law is prohibited.
In Russia, everything is prohibited, even if permitted by law.
In France, everything is permitted, even if prohibited by law.
In Switzerland everything that is not prohibited by law is obligatory."
