Our next call is set for Tuesday at 2PM EDT with a dial in of 1-888-346-3659 pin 2024#. I'm attaching a draft program for our Section 1983 Seminar scheduled for April. We'd like to see what you think about the topics identified and get your suggestions for any changes or for speakers. We will discuss the program agenda on Tuesday and I welcome email thoughts and suggestions now and as part of developing that program. Volunteers are always welcome! Lastly, a professor at UCLA is doing a project that attempts to nail down an estimate of how much time officers spend in defending themselves in Section 1983 litigation. The following is our blurb on that: Survey: Amount of Time Law Enforcement Officers Spend on Section 1983 Litigation Professor Schwartz from UCLA Law School is studying the amount of time law enforcement officers spend on Section 1983 litigation. If you are interested in participating, please fill out this short, anonymous, online survey.
