Last year, Qualified Immunity was a frequent topic of discussion and debate in the context of police reform. Has the Supreme Court introduced a new focal point with Trump v. United States? This presentation will explore how recent cases are shaping judicially defined immunities, including Qualified Immunity and protections extended to other government officials—most notably, the President.
