Qualified Immunity Doctrine Hinders Justice and Wastes Resources
The article criticizes the Supreme Court's strong support for qualified immunity, a legal doctrine that shields public officials from being sued for violating constitutional rights. This doctrine has hindered the development of constitutional law, led to unnecessary legal battles, and confused the roles of judges and juries. The author suggests that the best way to fix this issue is to make qualified immunity irrelevant by correcting past court decisions.
