Denver University Law Review Presents Federal Sentencing Survey

The Denver University Law Review is proud to present a special federal sentencing survey. 

On June 21, 2007, the United States Supreme Court handed down Rita v. United States, an important opinion addressing federal sentencing practices in the aftermath of the Court’s landmark 2005 decision in United States v. Booker.  Shortly thereafter, the Denver University Law Review solicited articles from top sentencing scholars, experts, and judges on Rita and how it changed (or did not change) the federal sentencing landscape. 

The articles merit special attention as the Supreme Court prepares to take up closely-related sentencing issues again in its upcoming Term.  On October 2, 2007, the Court will hear oral argument in Gall v. United States and in Kimbrough v. United States, two important cases in the continued evolution of the Court’s federal sentencing jurisprudence. Visit the Site. . . [Mark Godsey]
