Lots to read about American sentencing development on this patriotic day off

For reasons I only partially understand, I have a regular teaching day at my law school; it seems nearly all other government-linked institutions have an extra day to their weekend thanks to our nation's greatest presidents.  Fortunately, for those sentencing fans looking to find a productive way to spend this extra day off, there are lots of new papers on SSRN worth giving a look.  Here is just an abridged list of pieces recently added to SSRN that I hope I might soon find time to read:

• The Promise of Trailing-Edge Guidelines to Resolve the Conflict between Uniformity and Judicial Discretion by Mark William Osler

• The Failure of Parole: Rethinking the Role of the State in Reentry by Christine S. Scott-Hayward

• Protecting Liberty and Autonomy: Desert/Disease Jurisprudence by Stephen Morse

• Judicial Challenges to Mandatory Minimum Sentences: A New Frontier in the Debate Over Child Pornography Sentencing? by Mary Leary

• A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing: Enacting Statutes Enhancing Criminal Penalties for Affinity Fraud by Karina Sargsian
