Panel Discussion on Qualified Immunity Next Week

An online event hosted by the Harvard Federalist Society

Next week, the Harvard Law School's Federalist Society will host a discussion about qualified immunity, featuring two one critics of the doctrine (me, and Joanna Schwartz) as well as two people who are closer to defenders, or at least skeptics of the critics (Scott Keller, and Judge Andrew Oldham). Judge Don Willett, author of several prominent opinions about qualified immunity, will moderate.

The event will be on Tuesday, 11/16, at 12:45 pm ET, and you can register here: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_bLLNWz0rTOC5lO3ndGSYTQ.

And if you want to do the reading beforehand:

• Scott Keller, Qualified and Absolute Immunity at Common Law
• William Baude, Is Quasi-Judicial Immunity Qualified Immunity? and Is Qualified Immunity Unlawful?
• Joanna Schwartz, Qualified Immunity's Boldest Lie
• Judge Andrew Oldham, Official Immunity at the Founding

UPDATE: Joanna Schwartz won't be able to participate, it turns out, but hopefully it will still be a great event.
