September 8: Des Moines, IA - Lethal Injection Secrecy and Eighth Amendment Due Process

Eric Berger, associate professor of law at the Nebraska College of Law, will discuss lethal injection secrecy and the Eighth Amendment due process at a lecture on Monday, Sept. 8 at 4 p.m. in the Drake University Law School, Room 213. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Berger’s scholarship focuses on constitutional law and he has written extensively about lethal injection. In 2009, Berger testified before the Judiciary Committee of the Nebraska legislature about a bill to institute lethal injection in Nebraska.
“There have been several botched executions recently, notably in Arizona,” says Paul Statler, president of the Drake Law School's chapter of the American Constitution Society. “It seemed particularly fitting to bring Professor Berger to campus at this time.”
