Time to register for the annual FSG seminar

Now is the time to sign up for the Sixteenth Annual National Seminar on the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, co-sponsored by the US Sentencing Commission and the Federal Bar Association, which takes place on May 23-25 in Salt Lake City, Utah.  All the particulars of this exciting event are set out in this event brochure, which highlights that the Seminar presents an opportunity to commune with the entire sentencing commission, many staff, key judges, prosecutors, professors and others coping with post-Booker realities.

As detailed in the brochure, this Seminar brings together many folks who are really in-the-know about federal sentencing law and practice.  I am honored to be moderating a great panel on “Guideline Departures & Variances Outside the Range under § 3553(a).”   Though I doubt Claiborne and Rita will be decided by May, the event will be especially exciting if the Justices tell us more about what Booker means as we head to Utah.
