    About this ebook

    Section 1983 claims are as
    legally and factually complex as ever. Every official policy or conduct of state

    identifying ripeness, forum choice, and removal, and more;
    • A comprehensive overview of Section 1983 litigation into state court,
    including a discussion of state court jurisdiction, forum choice co
