The U.S. Supreme Court's 2005 landmark decision in United States v. Booker fundamentally changed sentencing in federal criminal cases. In Booker the Court held that mandatory application of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines was unconstitutional, while preserving their place in the sentencing process. Since Booker, the Supreme Court has offered additional guidance on the proper role of the sentencing guidelines in individual sentencing in Rita v. United States, Kimbrough v. United States, Gall v. United States and Nelson v. United States. And recently, the United States Sentencing Commission has made efforts to tabulate both sentencing data and the views of sentencing judges to help it make necessary reforms to the Guidelines. This year's program highlights the major developments of the last year with an eye toward anticipating future areas of change. The program will provide an overview of the current legal landscape as it relates to sentencing in federal criminal cases, with an emphasis on recent decisions and Guidelines amendments. The panelists will offer specific, practical advice for attorneys representing defendants at each stage of the sentencing process.
