judicial immunity

Judicial immunity is a legal principle that protects judges from being held personally responsible for their official actions, even if those actions are considered wrong or mistaken. This immunity allows judges to make decisions without fear of lawsuits, ensuring they can judge cases fairly and independently. It applies when their actions are within their judicial role, not personal or outside their official duties. This protection promotes an independent judiciary but does not cover actions taken outside their official capacity or in cases of misconduct unrelated to their judicial functions.
