Color of Law Definition
A term used to describe conduct by a government official that appears to be based on lawful authority, but that's really a violation of the law. For example, a police officer who extorts sexual favors from traffic stop detainees might appear to be acting under color of law to make traffic stops, but the officer's conduct violates the law.
