ACS proposals for next administration's Justice Department

Though disappointingly light on criminal justice discussions, there are still a lot of interesting ideas to be found in a series of federal justice policy papers released today by the American Constitutional Society.  The details and papers of this project, titled "A Fresh Start for a New Administration: Reforming Law and Justice Policies," can be found at this link.  Here are some of the papers that should be of special interest to sentencing fans:

• Janet Reno and Geoffrey M. Klineberg, What Would Jackson Do? Some Old Advice for the New Attorney General
• Margaret Colgate Love, Reinventing the President's Pardon Power

• James K. Robinson, Restoring Public Confidence in the Fairness of the Department of Justice's Criminal Justice Function
