Stump v. Sparkman 435 U.S. 349 (1978) is the leading United States Supreme Court decision on judicial immunity. It involved an Indiana judge who was sued by a young woman who had been sterilized in accordance with the judge’s order. The Supreme Court held that the judge was immune from being sued for issuing the order because it was issued as a judicial function.
