A section 1983 case would be filed under what law?

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. The liability was under federal law to answer your exact question.

WHAT IS 42 USC 1983 FEDERAL LAW?

42 USC 1983 is actually Title 42, Chapter 21, Subchapter 1, section 1983 of the United States Cod. In short, 42 USC 1983 is the citation provided for the federal law and is often referred to as "Section 1983". Section 1983 is a federal law that allows an action for damages against any person who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom or usage of any state or territory, subjects any person to a deprivation of any rights, privileges or immunities secured by the Constitution or laws of the United States. In the body of the U.S. Constitution, most of the enumerated rights are described in terms of limitations on Congress's power to take certain actions.Section 1983 is the primary enforcement mechanism used by citizens to secure this protection of their constitutional rights against the actions of states or local governments. When an individual seeks to enforce rights granted under the U.S. Constitution against a local government, the individual generally must bring suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This is because the Constitution is not a self-executing document. Accordingly, plaintiffs must rely on the methods that Congress has created for the enforcement of constitutional rights.
