Suing Judges

When a person is injured by the act of someone else the natural response is to seek redress in the courts. When the person to be sued happens to be a judge, a number of potentially insurmountable obstacles often appear. This is because of the privilege of immunity given to judges. This book presents an in-depth study of the substantive, procedural and theoretical issues that arise when a judge is to be sued. Material is drawn mainly from English and American Federal case law. The study however also incorporates some Canadian, Australian and New Zealand case law.
