Hot Topics in Law Enforcement Liability under Sec.1983: What Every Municipal Lawyer Should Know
Whether you are a defense lawyer or legal advisor, this webinar will help you to stay current on recent developments in police liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. After a brief refresher on claims and defenses, the program will turn to recent developments: consensus policies on use of force; chokeholds and neck restraints after George Floyd; de-escalation and use of force against emotionally disturbed subjects; the latest on shooting at vehicles and vehicular pursuits; best practices on the use of force during protests and demonstrations; restrictions on no-knock warrants after Breonna Taylor; and the duty to intervene to prevent the misconduct of others. The program will end with a discussion about reducing money damages in high profile cases with inflammatory facts. All this, plus links to resources you can use in your practice.
