In general, judges have immunity from being held liable for their decisions made while performing their judicial functions, a principle known as "judicial immunity." This protection allows judges to make rulings without fear of personal liability, thereby ensuring the independence of the judiciary. However, a judge can be held liable if they act outside their jurisdiction or engage in actions that are clearly illegal or violate constitutional rights. In such cases, accountability measures may apply, but they are rare.
