As I have mentioned to some of you, for the week of April 27, I will be available for conferences only on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. The following weeks, I am available most afternoons, though a scheduled appointment (ideally via comments to this post) is the best way to ensure I am in my office when you would like to come by.
All students who have not yet had a conference about their mid-term paper should try to book a time. And even those who've had that conference are welcome to book more conference time to discuss in more detail their plans for the final white paper (which is due, with no extensions, on May 14).
In addition, as I mentioned in our last week of classes, you can still earn class participation credit via blog commentary here. I likely will post some "fresh" sentencing news in the days ahead, and here are links to some recent posts from my main blog that touch on topics we covered in class at various times:
- Flawed HLR note on federal white-collar sentencing
- How might new drug war buzz impact SCOTUS student strip-search case?:
- "Imprisoned by stereotypes"
- CNN covers Sullivan case as SCOTUS considers juve LWOP
- Huge opinion concluding(?) Ohio lethal injection litigation
- A simple plea for Prez Obama: grant at least a single clemency in your first 100 days

I think it would be better to have my conference wed. afternoon rather than tomorrow morning. I’ll have more to talk about for my final paper by then. Is 3 pm ok?
