US Sentencing Commission conducting day-long hearing on (some) proposed guideline amendments

I flagged in this post last week that on February 12 the US Sentencing Commission was to be conducting a public hearing “to receive testimony from invited witnesses on proposed amendments relating to the career offender guideline, firearms offenses, simplification, and circuit conflicts.”  At this page on the USSC’s website, one can now see the full agenda for this public hearing, which runs from 9am to past 4pm and lists 23(!) scheduled witnesses during eight panels.

The USSC’s webpage includes links to all of the scheduled witness’s written testimony, and I would especially recommend this written testimony of US District Judge Edmond E-Min Chang, who serves as Chair of the Criminal Law Committee.  In just a few pages, that written testimony effectively summarizes the range of guideline amendments being explored at the public hearing.  Should be quite a day, and this webpage will also provide the live webstream of the day-long hearing.
