Description

This book represents a comprehensive coverage of the doctrine of sovereign immunity; one chapter provides a summary of the sovereign immunity laws in all US states. The book provides the reader with a knowledge and understanding of the sovereign immunity doctrine but also provides the reader with an awareness and understanding of the important legal problems and road blocks that confront attorneys who represent victims of improvident government actions. One chapter discusses the immunity of foreign States regarding claims filed against foreign governments in United States courts and when and how a claim can be brought successfully against a foreign State in a court in the United States for violations, among others, of international law. The book is an invaluable reference work for attorneys who may represent victims of governmental misconduct; attorneys should read this book in advance to filing a lawsuit against the government in any context.
