Latest issue of SMU Law Review focused on criminal justice reforms
I just had a chance to notice and note here that the Summer 2021 issue of the SMU Law Review has a great bunch of articles on a great array of criminal justice topics. Here are all the pieces in the issue, all of which are relatively short and many of which relate to sentencing issues in various ways:
