42 U.S.C Section 1983 is the law. It was enacted in the Civil Rights Act of 1871. When you sue an official under Section 1983, you are usually suing for violation of a constitutional right, not a statutory one, so there aren't a lot of laws to consider but there are a lot of court cases. There are a lot of exceptions to 1983, including absolute immunity for legislators, court witnesses, etc, and qualified immunity for executive officials. All of these come from cases, not laws.
