UPDATED—Huh, Looks Like I'll Have To Get Up To Speed On 18 U.S. Code § 242 Before The Thursday Afternoon Salon

Update: The Lady Attorneys just informed me that the law I should refer to is probably:
42 U.S. Code § 1985. Conspiracy to interfere with civil rights

And that I have probably forfeited my shot at extra credit.

Original post:
Via Cornell Law School: 
18 U.S. Code § 242. Deprivation of rights under color of law

The Lady Attorneys tell me I'll get extra credit if I can talk for one minute on: 
42 U.S. Code § 1983. Civil action for deprivation of rights
