Elisabeth Haub School of Law News

Times Free Press reports Elisabeth Haub School of Law Professors Randy McLaughlin and Betty Lewis were featured in the premiere of “How to Sue the Klan,” a documentary inspired by a historic civil case that they won in 1982 which set a legal precedent against organized hate.

It is “commonplace” in criminal litigation that when the defense has a “weak case,” they attack the prosecutor, Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at Pace University, told Salon. Here, the defense is claiming that the prosecution had failed to disclose evidence that Trump had a security clearance to retain documents at Mar-a-Lago and that the White House and other federal agencies possessed critical but undisclosed information relevant to the defense case.

Associate Director of Environmental Law Programs, Achinthi Vithanage, was selected to the 2024 Lawdragon 500 Leading U.S. Environmental Lawyers guide for the 3rd year in a row.

Professor Bennett Gershman provides expert insight to Lohud about a federal appeals court decision solidifying the public's right to criticize police officers, even using profanities, over their conduct in public.

"It was a terrible, terrible exercise of police conduct and judgment," commented Bennett Gershman, a constitutional law professor at Pace University's Elisabeth Haub School of Law. "It was so clear that McAlister knew that what he was doing was wrong."

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Professor Katrina Kuh speaks to Bloomberg Law News about the green amendment gaining traction in more states ahead of elections.

Right now, only Montana, Pennsylvania, and New York have green amendments as van Rossum defines them—to qualify as a true green amendment in her eyes, it must be enshrined in a state’s bill of rights. But environmental rights located farther down in other states’ constitutions still fuel cases, said Katrina Fischer Kuh, a law professor at Pace University.
