Harlow v. Fitzgerald

Case Date: 05/05/1982

Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800 (1982), was a case decided by the United States Supreme Court involving the doctrines of qualified immunity and absolute immunity. It is occasionally falsely stated that the Court held that presidential aides were not entitled to absolute immunity, but that question was reserved for remand under the standard articulated by the Court.
