We will finish the Immunity Puzzles tomorrow. Reax papers due next Tuesday.
We then move to Entity Liability, beginning with Municipal Liability. Prep § 6.01, plus all of Part 6.A. Consider:
• What are the arguments for and against entity (as opposed to individual-officer)( liability, given the purposes of § 1983 and the problems of individual immunity? What unique purposes does entity liability serve?
• What is the textual and policy basis for municipal liability under § 1983? What are the textual and policy limitations on that liability?
• When can a municipality be liable?
