Description
This course examines the development of the primary federal statutory causes of action for violations of civil rights, including deprivations of rights by state actors and private conspirators, racially based abridgments of contractual and property rights, and selected issues which arise in structural reform litigation. We will also look at some of the obstacles to the enforcement of such rights, examining judicially created, and common law, immunities, as well as doctrines designed to limit access to the courts. There will be a mid-term and final exam.
