Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Despite § 1983’s “broad terms,” the Supreme Court “has long recognized that” officials sued for monetary relief in their personal capacities may be entitled to assert a common-law defense of absolute or qualified immunity.[1] In general, the Court, applying a “functional approach,” has held that judges, prosecutors, witnesses, and legislators may assert absolute immunity, while executive and administrative officials may assert qualified immunity.[2] Most officials are entitled only to qualified immunity. |
