Registration Information
With its decision in U.S. v. Booker, it is possible that the Supreme Court has transformed federal criminal sentencing. The remedy announced in the decision that gives judges the discretion to consider the sentencing guidelines as discretionary rather than mandatory, leaves many wondering how this decision will be implemented. While judges are coming to terms with Booker, attorneys must alter their approach to sentencing and how they represent their clients. On March 10, three federal court judges provide their interpretation of this case and their recommendations to lawyers regarding changes in their practice before the federal bench. In addition, possible ramifications for state court cases will be considered and discussed.
~AGENDA~ - What Does the Booker Decision Mean in Practical Terms?
- How Will Judges Apply It?
