Gumbo and guidelines in the Big Easy in June

I have already made my plans to attend this year’s Annual National Seminar on the Federal Sentencing Guidelines presented by the US Sentencing Commission. This year’s event, in addition to being free to attend, has the extra added benefit of taking place in New Orleans on June 10-12. The full agenda with all the seminar information is now available at this link. 

I will have the pleasure of talking about departures and variances at the conference, and I am already looking forward to going to all the traditional plenary events and break-out sessions.  I am also looking forward to discovering if the guidelines make even more sense while having a gumbo hangover.
