What is the current state of the law on immunity from prosecution in civil cases?

the greatest practical degree. We do not want to let the threat of litigation and personal liability 'deter[] . . . able citizens from acceptance of public office[,]' nor do we want to 'dampen the ardor of all but the most resolute, or the most irresponsible public officials, in the unflinching discharge of their duties.' [Citation.] Hence, '[t]his immunity is broad in scope and protects "all but the plainly incompetent or those who knowingly violate the law."' [Citations.]" (Curley v. Klem (3d Cir. 2007) 499 F.3d 199, 206.)
