JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Liability for invidious discrimination.

- Doctrine of qualified immunity does not shield defendants, Chair of the Board of Pardons and Paroles and Parole Decisions Guidelines employee, from liability for the plaintiff's equal protection claim. When making a parole decision, members of a parole board may not engage in invidious discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, poverty, or some other constitutionally protected interest. Parisie v. Morris, 873 F. Supp. 1560 (N.D. Ga. 1995).

OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Purpose and function of chair of board.

- Creation of a chair position for the State Board of Pardons and Paroles was for the convenience of the board, in that the board is privileged to expect and to call upon such member for the performance of duties or services not calling for the action of the board or delegated by the General Assembly to others; the board has the right to determine such duties and to provide how, and in what manner, the particular administrative acts shall be performed. 1945-47 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 450.
