For Tuesday

Monday audio. Back outside tomorrow, as I expect another nice day.

We will finish the Prosecutorial Immunity Puzzles. Think about the "absence of jurisdiction" idea in Anilao (Puzzle # 3) and how that argues for or against immunity in that case.

We then move to Qualified Immunity, which is almost certainly the highest-profile doctrine--and the one most criticized across the political spectrum. How did the doctrine evolve and why? What are the targets of criticism?

Also, see the Sixth Circuit case I mentioned, holding that parole board members enjoy quasi-judicial immunity. The court includes a nice discussion of we talked about in class today--how to understand immunity for something as seemingly routine as scheduling.
