Whenever any person has failed to comply with a preliminary order of reinstatement, or a final order, including one approving a settlement agreement, issued under CPSIA, the Secretary or a person on whose behalf the order was issued may file a civil action seeking enforcement of the order in the United States district court for the district in which the violation was found to have occurred. The Secretary also may file a civil action seeking enforcement of the order in the United States district court for the District of Columbia. In civil actions under this section, the district court will have jurisdiction to grant all appropriate relief, including, but not limited to, injunctive relief and compensatory damages, including:

In special circumstances not contemplated by the provisions of these rules, or for good cause shown, the ALJ or the ARB on review may, upon application, after three days notice to all parties, waive any rule or issue such orders that justice or the administration of CPSIA requires.

"Section 1983 Litigation" refers to lawsuits brought under Section 1983 (Civil action for deprivation of rights) of Title 42 of the United States Code (42 U.S.C. 1983). Section 1983 provides an individual the right to sue state government employees and others acting "under color of state law" for civil rights violations. Section 1983 does not provide civil rights; it is a means to enforce civil rights that already exist.

That night, I sat jammed behind a flake. The stove flickered blue and hissed as spindrift snaked down. For three hours, I fed ice chips into the pan, handing up tea then soup then potatoes to Thierry in his single-point hammock.

At daybreak, we fought to put on boots and crampons, teetering on tiny footholds. We followed the flakes and ramps that diagonaled across the North Face. Immense emptiness stretched below, framed by sweeps of blank rock. An overhang took a couple of points of aid. To the right and down, down, down was the white swath of the Niche, with steep granite everywhere. The ice shattered if mishandled in the deep cold. We were pinned to a thin ribbon that threaded up and around the mountain. The only sign of human passage was a Chouinard angle from the second ascent.

At the refuge, we forced open the frozen door. Fine particles of snow swirled around its empty confines, pushed by the wind through interstices in the old wooden walls. On the table stood a half-empty bottle of wine. We also found pasta and frozen bread. We laughed and joked for hours until we crawled into our sleeping bags, putting the bread inside them to thaw.

In our recent webinar, Anatomy of a Section 1983 Claim, we discussed the federal statute known as Section 1983 that allows people to sue certain government entities and its employees for violations of their civil rights (42 U.S.C. 1983). While Section 1983 creates a remedy for seeking redress for the violation of a federally protected right, it does not create any rights itself. Therefore, simply alleging a violation of a federal law is not enough to give rise to a Section 1983 claim. Rather, plaintiff must allege that a specific right that arises from federal law (whether constitutional or statutory) has been violated.

While Section 1983 enables a plaintiff to bring an action for a violation of their federally protected rights, it does not create any right itself. What does this mean in practice? In short, to have an actionable claim under Section 1983 the plaintiff must allege more than just a violation of federal law, they must allege the violation of a clearly established right. The most common types of Section 1983 cases arise out of violations of the various rights guaranteed by the Constitution, such as:

The relationship between the themes of federalism and individual rights is one that runs deep in American intellectual and social history. And it is one that has changed drastically with changes in the conditions and temperament of our society.

This contemporary conflict between federalism and civil rights is posed perhaps most sharply in lawsuits brought against state and local officials in federal court under 42 U.S.C. I983. Section 1983, enacted as part of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 to enforce the guarantees of the fourteenth amendment by providing a cause of action in federal court, lay dormant as a result of restrictive judicial construction until the Supreme Court's 1961 decision in Monroe v. Pape. In the succeeding decade and a half, litigation under the statute has burgeoned, but as the volume of 1983 litigation has expanded, so too have the calls for its restriction.

This Note will examine the enforcement of constitutional rights under section 1983 in light of the enhanced contemporary concern with state autonomy and integrity. In doing so, the goal is not only to suggest the ramifications of the concern with state interests on the 1983 action, but also to give some content to the vague contours of "Our Federalism."

Section 1983 was invoked by the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education (you can see the Act cited by its date) when they challenged school segregation 70 years ago. ACLU offices nationwide continue to use Section 1983 today to defend and advance the rights of all people.

Constitutional tort law marries the substantive rights granted by the Constitution to the remedial mechanism of tort law. The sweeping language of 42 U.S.C. 1983 provides that "[e]very person who, under color of any [state law] subjects, or causes to be subjected, any [person] to the deprivation of any [constitutional rights] shall be liable to the party injured in an action at law, suit in equity, or other proper proceeding for redress." Constitutional tort suits raise, in a new context, many tort-like remedial questions relating to causation, immunity, and damages--and therein lies a problem. The usual source of answers to questions raised by a statutory remedy is the statute itself. But referring to the text of this statute is unavailing, because it does nothing more than authorize a remedy. Since section 1983 does not provide answers to the remedial questions that arise in tort suits, the Supreme Court has looked to the common law in resolving them. The Court said in Monroe v. Pape that section 1983 "should be read against the background of tort liability that makes a man responsible for the natural consequences of his actions." In the years since Monroe, the Court has repeatedly declared that the statute creates "a species of tort liability," and has routinely employed concepts from the common law in resolving remedial issues. The Court has, in effect, erected a presumption in favor of the majority common law rule, subject to override based on strong constitutional tort policy considerations. Some of the opinions indicate that 1871 tort law is the benchmark, while others look to modern tort developments as well. My thesis is that, in erecting a presumption in favor of the common law, the Supreme Court has taken the wrong path. Instead of treating the common law as a source of constitutional tort law, it should think of constitutional tort as a fundamentally different legal artifact from common law tort. The Court should devise rules that reflect the distinctive features of damage suits aimed at vindicating constitutional rights. Rather than using the common law of torts as the model for constitutional tort, the Court ought to conceive of the backward-looking relief available in constitutional tort as part of the system of constitutional remedies, serving as a vehicle for filling in gaps left by forward-looking injunctive and defensive remedies. Part I describes the Court's use of common law doctrines in constitutional tort cases. One may attempt to justify the practice in two ways, either as a matter of the Court's obligation to follow Congressional directives, or as an exercise of judicial discretion in interpreting an open-textured statute. Part II argues that 42 U.S.C. 1983 does not oblige the Court to adopt common law rules. Part III maintains that the Court should not borrow the common law as a source of answers to constitutional tort questions. Part IV discusses some concrete doctrinal implications of abandoning the common law model.
