ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY: APPLYING NEW STANDARDS FOR PROSECUTORIAL ACCOUNTABILITY.
- Authors
Woislaw, Daniel
- Abstract
The article examines the need of applying new standards for prosecutorial accountability in issues related to absolute immunity. Topics discussed include the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1871; ways in which Federal employees are liable for violations of civil rights under Supreme Court precedent; and the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the case "Harlow v. Fitzgerald" in which the court recognized a blanket qualified immunity defence that applies to all government officials.
