UNDER COLOR OF LAW: EXCESSIVE FORCE & 42 USCA SECT. 1983
The issue of excessive force by police officers has been in the news a great deal lately. But what exactly is excessive force according to the courts? What legal remedies exist for the plaintiff? Who has liability — the officer, the city, both, or neither? Does implicit bias, police policy, or hiring procedure play a role?
Join the Student Affairs Office of Diversity on October 10th in Wade to discuss the answers to these and other questions. Hear from experienced scholars and learn from practitioners how to successfully litigate a claim for excessive force under 42 USCA Sect. 1983.
