Newspaper Article
The immunity ruse
2002
Overview
Mr. [Paul Lapides], a professor in the Georgia state university system, sued the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and university officials for such an alleged defamation. He brought his suit in a Georgia state court. Because of a thing called sovereign immunity, a legal doctrine that shields states from litigation. In Mr. Lapides' case, the state conceded that a Georgia statute had waived the state's sovereign immunity in state court. But in the federal district court, the state asserted that it still had immunity under the 11th Amendment to the Constitution.
