Abstract | Section 1983 opened the federal courts to private citizens by creating a cause of action for invasion of rights protected by federal law. Liability can only be established through proof that injury was occasioned by the implementation of municipal "policy or custom." Examines the evolution of this court doctrine. (MLF) |
