New York Law Journal featured Haub Law Professor Bennett Gershman's piece "Lame-Duck Executions"
By Bennett L. Gershman: Consider this: Before Trump‘s presidency only three persons were executed by the federal government in the past 50 years. But in July, as the presidential election was gearing up, Trump suddenly ordered federal executions to resume. Since July, eight persons have been put to death, and five more executions are scheduled in the coming weeks. There have been more federal executions this year than state executions. No president in America history has presided over more executions in such a short period of time.
