This course will introduce students to the unique principles that apply when the sovereign is a party to a court action. Because the federal government is a party in nearly one- third of all civil cases in the federal courts, an under- standing of these principles is vital for any student interested in litigation or government practice. Students will examine the role of the Department of Justice, the question of federal sovereign immunity, suits against federal officers,a nd awards of attorney's fees against the government. Students also will explore when and how the government responds to injuries that it has caused to its citizens.
