State of Delaware remains good law: all 30 flagged citations have been read, and none adversely treats its sovereign-immunity holding. Later courts continued to apply its rule that 42 U.S.C. § 1983 did not abrogate Delaware's sovereign immunity.
Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

30 later cases cite Brooks-McCollum v. State of Delaware; 30 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read.
