POLICE MISCONDUCT LITIGATION
Police misconduct litigation is an area of law that is in constant change. Decisions on qualified immunity in excessive force cases present new challenges to plaintiffs. Increasing sophistication on the part of the defense bar and the dominance of a conservative judicial philosophy on the federal bench, have led to decisions narrowing the scope of constitutional protections for people injured by police misconduct, while expanding the immunities from suit afforded to officers.
