Highligthting some of many highlights from Sentencing Matters Substack
It has been a little while since I highlighted here posts from the Sentencing Matters Substack, in part because some recent essays published there have gone beyond just sentencing topics. But especially with this latest posting teaching me something about the history of federal “fast-track” immigration sentencing, and lots of other ecent posts covering lots of similarly interesting and timely ground, I figured it was time for a little cross-promotion of recent sentencing-focused essays. So:
“Booker v. United States and Its Place in the History of Federal Sentencing Law and Policy“
“The Department of Justice’s New Criminal Charging Policies“
“The Sentencing Matters Substack Interview: Assistant Professor of Law Raquel Wilson“
“Puppet or Protector?: An Uneasy Balance at the Justice Department After and Before Trump“
“Liberty’s absence in jurisprudence and practice regarding extreme prison sentences“
These essays are just a smattering of lots of great and diverse content at the Sentencing Matters Substack since just the start of the new year. Though others deserve credit for nearly all of the writing and curating, I can still urge everyone who follows sentencing and broader criminal justice issues to subscribe.
