In '''''Pierson v. Ray''''', 386 U.S. 547 (1967), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] extended the protection of absolute [[judicial immunity]] to suits brought under § 1 of the [[Civil Rights Act of 1871]], 42 U.S.C. [[Section 1983]]. It held that the legislative record for that [[statute]] gave no indication that [[Congress]] intended to abolish this long-established principle of absolute judicial immunity.
