Abstract
- The article examines the need of applying new standards for prosecutorial accountability in issues related to absolute immunity. Topics discussed include the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1871; ways in which Federal employees are liable for violations of civil rights under Supreme Court precedent; and the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the case "Harlow v. Fitzgerald" in which the court recognized a blanket qualified immunity defence that applies to all government officials.
