More Blakely-related events of note

As previously noted here, the Heritage Foundation today conducted an event entitled “Federal Criminal Sentencing: Where Are We and Where Do We Go Next?”. An attendee colorfully described the event as “mostly blood pressure raising stuff for a defense guy.” You can see what this means at this link, where a webcast of the event is archived.

In addition, Professor Len Orland of the University of Conneticu Law School report that tomorrow evening (Sept 22) from 5:45pm to 7:45pm, he will be moderating a panel entitled “Federal Sentencing —An Impending Crisis?” for the Federal Bar Council at the SDNY Courthouse. On the panel are heavy-hitters including USS Commissioner/Judge Ruben Castillo, SDNY US Judge Gerard Lynch, Former EDNY US Attorney Alan Vinegrad and D Conn. US Attorney Kevin J. O’Connor.
