Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Texas
Civil Lawsuits
Are judges immune from civil
lawsuits? I know that DA's are
immune, but what about judges? If
a judge fails to properly perform their
duties and it affects an innocent
defendant in a bad way, i.e. they lose
their job, can that person sue the
judge in a civil court?

Re: Civil Lawsuits
No, you cannot sue the judge because they are immune from prosecution.
