I was pleased to see some students were able to attend some of the events previous flagged in September, and I now can provide an updated and expanded list of online events that might be of interest to sentencing fans throughout the month of October. Here is a quick run down of these events with links for more information:
Tuesday, Oct. 6 1pm Two Views: An Exploration of SCOTUS's Criminal Law Docket
Every(!) Wednesday in October ASU State of Incarceration Virtual Summit
Wednesday, Oct. 7 3pm Criminal Justice Reform Workshop Series: Prosecutor Caseloads and Sentencing Outcomes
Wednesday, Oct. 7 6pm Forces of Freedom or Fraud? Do Conviction Integrity Units Matter in Wrongful Conviction Cases
Friday, Oct. 9 3pm Apprendi at 20
Monday-Thursday Oct. 19-22 Prison Brake: Rethinking the Sentencing Status Quo (attending the October 20 afternoon sessions will be in place of our class)
Wednesday Oct. 21 12noon Bodiker Lecture on Criminal Justice
I continue to welcome folks identifying other notable online events to include on this list. And, as I have mentioned in class, I urge students to keep a "billing sheet" of time spent attending these or other sentencing-instructive events.
