Corporations And 42 Usc 1983

Summary

Corporations are typically not liable under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for emotional distress, intimidation, or harassment, as this statute applies to individuals acting under state law. For issues involving crossing state lines or tribal territories, federal laws like the RICO Act or the Indian Civil Rights Act may be relevant. Consider state laws for civil suits related to emotional distress. For continuing criminal enterprises, federal jurisdiction may apply, and contacting federal authorities is advisable. Understanding the elements of a RICO claim is crucial, including conduct, enterprise, pattern, and predicate acts.
