Polk County, Wisconsin v. J.K.J.
Petition for certiorari denied on January 11, 2021
Issue: Whether the “single-incident” theory of liability under Monell v. Department of Social Services
may be used to hold a municipality liable under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on the theory that its failure to do more
to prevent an employee from committing crimes that
he had been trained and knew were expressly
forbidden by municipal policy (and the law) was
tantamount to embracing a policy of condoning
constitutional violations.
