Revving up for Claiborne and Rita: shameless self-promotion

I am so eagerly anticipating the Supreme Court’s work in Claiborne and Rita in part because I have written so much over the last few years about Blakely, Booker and modern sentencing reforms in light of the Court’s modern sentencing jurisprudence.  With the arguments in Claiborne and Rita now only days away, I cannot resist this self-serving post assembling some of my major writings (with dates of publication):
