Lawfare Live: Qualified Immunity in the Federal Courts

Next Wednesday, March 24, at 2:15 p.m. ET, Alex Reinert, the Max Freund Professor of Litigation & Advocacy and Director of the Center for Rights and Justice at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, will join Benjamin Wittes, Lawfare  editor-in-chief, to discuss qualified immunity, a judicial doctrine that shields those in law enforcement from being held personally responsible for constitutional violations. Professor Reinert recently wrote an article  for Lawfare titled, “Unpacking a Decade of Appellate Decisions on Qualified Immunity” that summarizes his empirical research which provides the most comprehensive study to date of the resolution of qualified immunity appeals in federal court. powered by Crowdcast Sign up now  to become a patron of Lawfare and receive email notifications for Lawfare Live, a weekly event where you can join a community of Lawfare readers and podcast listeners in conversation with Lawfare writers, experts, guests and each other.
