Cornelius L. Emily, et al. v. Christopher Welters
Paid petition · Supreme Court of Minnesota, No. A20-1481 · judgment December 14, 2022
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
Did the Minnesota Supreme Court depart from this Court’s decisions in City of Tahlequah v. Bond, 142 S. Ct. 9 (2021) (per curiam), Rivas-Villegas v. Cortesluna, 142 S. Ct. 4 (2021) (per curiam), and many other qualified immunity cases by defining the relevant law at a high level of generality and holding that “less particularity is required to clearly establish what the constitution requires” when engaging in “routine conduct”?
