Welcome to the Section 1983 Civil Rights Law Reporter blog. My name is David Newdorf. I am a former San Francisco Deputy City Attorney. While working for San Francisco, I defended the City, the Police Department, the Sheriff's Department and City employees in numerous civil rights actions in state and federal court, at the trial and appellate level. I will be posting news and analysis of interest to law enforcement agencies, public entities, and civil rights litigators.
