Judicial Immunity vs. Accountability: A Conversation with Will Chamberlain

Judicial immunity and prosecutorial accountability—two sides of the justice system that couldn’t be more different. On today’s episode of The State of Freedom, Will Chamberlain breaks down the barriers to holding judges accountable and the urgent need for consequences when prosecutors violate civil rights.

Chamberlain explains how judicial immunity protects judges from facing repercussions for decisions made in their official capacity. It’s a system that refuses to scrutinize motives, no matter how flawed they may be. Meanwhile, prosecutors who conspire to strip citizens of their rights under the guise of law enforcement are often left unchecked.

This conversation explores how these dynamics have led to a justice system that sometimes seems to work against those it should protect. From malicious prosecutions to blatant overreach, the need for reform is clear.
