This course deals with the important subject of constitutional torts, specifically 42 U.S.C. 1983 and Bivens actions, whereby state, local and federal officials, as well as local governments, may be held liable in damages when they violate peoples' constitutional rights. Constitutional torts is a subject that is fascinating at both a theoretical and practical level. It raises deep issues of federalism and justice as well as real-world problems of how to make governments accountable to their citizens without undermining their effectiveness. Thousands of constitutional torts cases are filed annually, and they generate considerable controversy, e.g., Rodney King filed a section 1983 damages action against Los Angeles and certain of its police officers. Those who should take this course include persons who expect to do federal litigation of any kind, as well as any students who hope to clerk for federal or state judges or work for state and local governments. Not only does the course deal with constitutional law but it also addresses federal courts issues, damages and injunctive relief and attorney's fees, among other important subjects. 3. 000 Credit Hours 3. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Business, Master of Laws, Law Schedule Types: Lecture Chicago- Kent College of Law College Law Department
