Join us next week on Life After the Impact as we sit down with seasoned attorney Elizabeth Paige, founder of EPW Law PLLC, to explore the high-stakes legal battle surrounding LaToya Benton’s case for her son, Xzavier Hill. Now making its way to the Supreme Court, this case challenges critical legal issues, including qualified immunity, and the potential ramifications for law enforcement accountability.
Elizabeth brings over 15 years of experience in civil rights litigation, employment law, and criminal defense. Known for her work on high-profile cases, she will provide invaluable insight into the doctrine of qualified immunity—how it works, why it's so controversial, and what it could mean for future cases involving police misconduct.
The case for Xzavier Hill, brought by his mother LaToya Benton, seeks to challenge qualified immunity, which shields law enforcement officers and government officials from personal liability in certain circumstances. Elizabeth will break down the complexities of this doctrine, its impact on individual rights, and how this case could set a precedent for future legal battles in the fight for justice and accountability.
Whether you're a legal professional, a civil rights advocate, or simply someone looking to better understand these pressing legal issues, this episode will provide expert insight into one of the most significant legal battles of our time.
