Oak Worksted Mills v. McCaughn

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• Department of Correctional Services’ “control over the hearing officers’ terms of employment” undermines the officers’ insulation from political influence
• “absence of counsel to help focus inquiry and present reasoned proofs and arguments precludes the development of a full adversarial process”
• fact that “there appear to be no compendiums of the records of disciplinary hearings and appeals for officers to rely on” militates against granting absolute immunity
• right to “present evidence and call witnesses” constitutes a procedural safeguard
