  • Local Sovereign Immunity
    LOCAL SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY Fred Smith* When governmental actors offend federal rights, victims are often left with no one to hold accountable in federal courts. This Article explores this accountability gap in cases involving local officials’ violations of the Constitution. Local government, after all, is the layer of government that is often closest to our daily lives, from law enforce- ment to education. This Article argues that as a descriptive matter, contrary to the conventional account, a form of sovereign immunity protects local governments from federal constitutional suits. And this immunity unduly obstructs constitutional accountability. Local sovereign immunity operates primarily through two doctrines that, together, prevent remedies for violations of federal rights. First, a special, stringent causation requirement often prohibits recovery against local governments, even when that government’s agent violates federal constitutional rights. This causation requirement shares core historical and ideological commitments with the Supreme Court’s state sovereignty jurisprudence. The requirement also shares historical roots with com- mon law doctrines barring or limiting suits against local governments for traditional torts. Second, like federal and state officials, local actors are often entitled to qualified and absolute immunities, blocking suits against such actors in their individual capacities. Qualified and absolute immunities have roots in the doctrine of sovereign immunity. This Article observes that the version of state sovereignty that infuses these immunity doctrines is inflected with concerns about repub- licanism, representative government, federalism, and autonomy. It concludes by advocating for reforms that would narrow the rights– remedies gap for constitutional violations, while showing due respect for *.

"Jurisprudence Dsorientee:"1 The Louisiana Supreme Court's Theory of Jurisprudential Valuation, Doerr v. Mobil Oil and Louisiana Electorate of Gays and Lesbians v. State I. INTRODUCTION "What is the law?" This question is undoubtedly straightforward and fundamental, but in a mixed jurisdiction2 such as Louisiana, the answer is anything but simple. Picture a scene that plays out hundreds of times a day throughout Louisiana as well as the rest of the United States. A new client walks into an attorney's office with a particular legal problem. Understandably, the client wants to know if he has a valid legal claim or defense. Provided the attorney is at least moderately acquainted with the area of the law in question, the client will expect that the attorney will, at least, have the capability to find the legal rule that governs his problem.
