Chapter 6 Liability and Immunity Considerations for Judicial Officers and Employees

PRACTICE NOTE:

The discussion contained in this chapter is general in nature.  Whether a state official is immune from suit or damages will depend on the applicable state or federal law, court interpretations of those laws, the nature of the underlying act, and the facts of the case.  Practitioners are strongly encouraged to consult with legal counsel to understand the laws and standards that apply for their particular jurisdiction.
