Judges and prosecutors are generally immune from Section 1983 lawsuits for actions taken in their official capacities, unless they engaged in clear violations of the law or the plaintiff's constitutional rights. This is known as judicial and prosecutorial immunity. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as if the judge or prosecutor acted in bad faith or outside the scope of their duties.
