Mr. Gerson has long been involved in the struggle for accountability for victims of terrorism. He brought the first suit against a foreign state (Libya) on behalf of the families of the victims of the 1988 Pan Am 103 Lockerbie bombing, and was instrumental in passage of the 1996 Anti Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act that made it possible for U.S citizens to sue foreign governments in U.S. courts for complicity in terrorism. His work on behalf of the families of Pan Am flight 103 is chronicled in The Price of Terror (2001, HarperCollins), co-authored with Jerry Adler of Newsweek.

He joined the U.S Justice Department in 1977 and was awarded two Distinguished Performance Awards for his work with the Appellate Section of the Civil Division and with the Office of Special Investigations. In 1981, Mr. Gerson became Counsel to the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Jeane Kirkpatrick, and in 1985 to her successor, General Vernon Walters.

In 1985 and 1986, he served as Deputy Assistant Attorney General for Legal Counsel and Counselor for International Affairs at the U.S Department of Justice. From 1986 to 1989 he was a Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and from 1989-1995 he served as a Distinguished Professor of International Law and Transactions at George Mason University. From 1998-2000, he served as Senior Fellow for International Law and Organizations at the Council on Foreign Relations. Since 1991 he has been in private law practice, and in 2003 served as Senior Counsel to the US Delegation to the Commission on Human Rights as Senior Counsel. He is admitted to the New York and District of Columbia Bars, and that of the US Supreme Court and various US Courts of Appeals.

He is the author of Lawyers' Ethics: Contemporary Dilemmas (1980), Israel, The West Bank and International Law (1978), The Kirkpatrick Mission: Diplomacy Without Apology (1991), Privatizing Peace: From Conflict to Security (2002), as well as numerous articles in professional journals.
