Big Ten Booker tour continues
I will likely be off-line throughout the day as I travel to the University of Illinois College of Law to participate in this terrific "roundtable" organized by Professor Margareth Etienne entitled "The Impact of Booker: A Dialogue Between Scholars and Practitioners." (This trip rounds out my Big Ten Booker month after my sojourn to Minnesota Law School a few weeks ago; discussed here and here.) The participants and plans for the Illinois roundtable have me very excited, and I hope late tonight to report on what I learn in Champaign.
In the meantime, as is my practice, I have assembled below links of major posts from what has already been a pretty busy week:

Professor--
Just as an add-to on recent circuit developments, the Fifth Circuit (in which I am geographically practicing as a criminal defense lawyer)today came down with In re Elwood, No. 05-30269 (5th Cir. 4/28/05). Elwood holds that Booker is not retroactive within the meaning of Tyler and Teague such that it can be applied to successive habeas corpus petitions brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2255. Not a surprise, but nevertheless a development. . .
