Section 1983: Litigating Constitutional Rights

Please join the McLean County Bar Association for a presentation on Section 1983. Mr. Thomas McClure, J.D., M.S. will be leading this one hour CLE on the statutory cause of action used to seek relief for violations of federal constitutional rights. Victims of excessive force often file §1983 actions against police officers. Other litigants have relied on this cause of action to challenge state laws and local ordinances on constitutional grounds. For example, several Minnesota voters successfully brought a §1983 suit in which they made a First Amendment challenge to a law forbidding persons from wearing clothing promoting political issues when they are at the polls.

Mr. McClure is the Director of Legal Studies and an Associate Professor of Politics and Government at Illinois State University.
