Symposium

The Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology is excited to invite you to our 2021 Symposium on qualified immunity. On the 150th anniversary of Section 1983, the Symposium will explore the doctrine of qualified immunity as it currently stands in lower courts and the Supreme Court, qualified immunity as it impacts the practices of state actors, and the future of the doctrine given the Court’s recent denials of certiorari in qualified immunity cases.
