Check out Villanova Law's "Criminal Sentencing Colloquium" later this week

I flagged last week that this coming Friday (April 25) brings this exciting and distinctive event for sentencing fans titled "Criminal Sentencing Colloquium: Developments in Civilian and Military Law" at the Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law.  I am quite honored and thrilled to be a speaking on one of the panels at the event focused on "United States v. Booker: Twenty Years Later."  And here, again, is how the full event is described on the event page:

This colloquium will examine crucial developments in sentencing law across two distinct domains: federal civilian sentencing jurisprudence and military justice reform. This event will bring together leading scholars and practitioners to explore these parallel yet distinct evolutionary paths in American sentencing law. It is a particularly opportune moment to explore these issues as it has been 20 years since the US Supreme Court’s landmark decision in United States v. Booker and just over one year since the military justice “sentencing parameters” became effective pursuant to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022.

In addition to our other distinguished panelists, we are honored to welcome Judge Stephanos Bibas of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

This event has been approved for 4 hours of substantive CLE credits by the Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education Board. This event will accommodate both in-person and virtual attendees. Registration is required. Space is limited.

Co-sponsored by the Federal Sentencing Reporter and the National Institute of Military Justice.

Though I will be travelling to participate in the event in-person, folks not in the Villinova area can register to attend by Zoom.

Would be better if they had included practitioners.

In the body of your email, please indicate if you are a professor, student, prosecutor, defense attorney, etc. so I can gain a sense of who is reading my blog. Thank you, DAB
