Register for "Sentencing Review and Reduction: Open Questions and Next Steps for the Commission"

In this prior post, I noted the great weekly panel series for the month of May titled "The Role of the U.S. Sentencing Commission in Decarceration: First Step Act and Beyond."  This series has been put together by the Center for Justice and Human Dignity, a nonprofit organization whose mission is explained here in terms of seeking  "to reduce prison incarceration in the United States while improving conditions for those imprisoned and working inside."

This panel series is running every Tuesdays in May at 12noon ET, which means the third panel is scheduled taking place this coming Tuesday, May 17th.  This panel is titled "Sentencing Review and Reduction: Open Questions and Next Steps for the Commission," and the discussion is especially timely given Prez Biden's nomination of seven people to the US Sentencing Commission just last week.  Everyone can and should register to attend next week's session and the entire series here.  The speakers for all the panels are terrific, and here are the folks participating in this latest panel:

Elizabeth Blackwood, Counsel & Director for the First Step Act Resource Center at the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyer

Marisa Taney, Associate at Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, Holloway Project

I had the honor of helping to moderate the final panel, which airs next week, and it is titled Looking Ahead: Learning from Past Commission Leadership (Tuesday, May 24 12pm ET).
