Fourteenth Amendment Liability

Well, as long as I had probable cause and didn’t use force, I can’t be sued, right? Wrong! Savvy Plaintiff’s and Plaintiff’s attorneys attempt to hold law enforcement entities and personnel liable under the Fourteenth Amendment in such situations. This class discusses recent developments associated with “catch-all” attempts to hold law enforcement liable for a constitutional violation. These claims generally assert a violation of an individual’s due process rights. Another routine attempt to hold law enforcement liable is by asserting an equal protection violation. This course is specifically designed to limit these subjective-based claims.
