Access Restricted: “A New Era in Sentencing?”

March 24, 2010

Upcoming VLA event: Wednesday March 31, 2010 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Guest speaker Douglas Berman, co-author of a leading casebook, Sentencing Law and Policy and managing editor of the Federal Sentencing Reporter and the Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law, will present various alternatives to sentencing guidelines from within a landmarked centerpiece of New York’s trial courthouses.

This presentation is part of Access Restricted: Law & Representation, a series of lectures that take place around Manhattan. On March 10, 2010, one of the lectures in the series was given at the Cardozo School of Law. The aim of the series is to “foster new perspectives by encouraging the public to explore locales and situations through the various lenses of architecture and planning, art, history, sociology, political science, and law.”

Get involved! (And it’s free).

New York County Supreme Court, 60 Centre Street
