For Monday

Tuesday audio. Entity Liability papers due Tuesday.

We continue with Procedure; prep the rest of Chapter 7, beginning with the § 7.05 puzzles. Understand the basics of habeas corpus and how Heck strikes the balance between habeas and § 1983. Why insist on lines between habeas and § 1983? What role does SCOTUS review play in challenges to state convictions--how do you know when a case reaches SCOTUS on habeas or direct review?  What is the statute of limitations on a § 1981 claim against a municipality?

Abstention panel should be ready to go on Tuesday.
