Suing State For Violations

Summary

Suing a state involves complex legal processes due to sovereign immunity, but exceptions exist for federal law or constitutional rights violations. Section 1983 allows individuals to sue for civil rights violations by state actors. It covers violations of federal constitutional or statutory rights, and you can request a jury trial. State actors include government officials and entities performing government functions. Judges have immunity for judicial actions, while arbitrators and attorneys may not be state actors unless performing governmental functions. Alternative legal pathways include judicial misconduct complaints, legal malpractice claims, and arbitration appeals.
