Free panel discussion on Qualified Immunity: An Obstacle to Justice
Thursday, October 29, 7 to 8:30 p.m.
During recent months, we have seen an uprising in this country and a call to action for those who believe police should be held accountable. To further this work, I am pleased to invite you to theNYCLU Hudson Valley Chapter’s annual Henry Schwarzschild Memorial Lecture. This year, we will focus on the little known but hugely important legal principle known as qualified immunity.
For decades, qualified immunity has prevented police officers from being held personally responsible in civil lawsuits, even when their actions result in serious injury or death. Until officers are held responsible for their actions, their behavior won’t change. Our panel of experts will go into depth about qualified immunity and how we can end it for police officers in New York.
The event will be held via Zoom and it is free and open to the public. See also attached flier.
