ANACHRONISTIC READINGS OF SECTION 1983.
- Authors
Lindley, Tyler B.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the interpretation and application of Section 1983 of the federal law, examining its historical context and modern implications. Topics include debates over whether Section 1983 created a new cause of action or merely codified existing constitutional rights, challenges in applying the statute without clear federal guidance on elements such as damages and causation, and the ongoing controversy surrounding official immunities and potential doctrinal reforms.
