New Mexico Law Review Symposium examining the New Mexico Civil Rights Act, which effectively ends qualified immunity for the state

Anyone interested in qualified immunity must pay close attention to New Mexico, which passed an act effectively ending qualified immunity in 2021. New Mexico Law Review held a terrific symposium about the statute, and the symposium issue (with my keynote) is out now. The entire symposium issue is at: https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/nmlr/ and my keynote is here: https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/nmlr/vol54/iss2/3/

In addition to the articles, the symposium was terrific - a panel of legislators & commissioners spoke about getting the bill passed & another panel was lawyers who litigate these novel claims. Those thinking about enacting similar statutes must watch: https://nmlr.unm.edu/special-content/index.html.
