Display event - 2021 Governmental Liability Virtual Boot Camp

The DRI Governmental Liability Boot Camp is a one-day virtual seminar where attendees will learn about the basics of 42 U.S.C. Section 1983 and defending constitutional tort claims from the past chairs of the Governmental Liability Committee.  The program will start with an overview of Section 1983 litigation and then delve more deeply into specific claims and specific defenses.  Attendees will hear discussion about Monell liability for official capacity claims, defending Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment claims, defending use of force claims, the attack on qualified immunity and defending claims against prisons or jails.  The presentation will benefit the new lawyer just learning about this area of the law or the seasoned practitioner who needs a refresher and will serve as a great warm-up to the DRI Governmental Liability Seminar in August in Nashville.
