Description:
Published in 1973, Judge Marvin Frankel’s book
Criminal Sentences: Law Without Order
, assailed just about every aspect of existing arbitrary sentencing practices and advocated for the creation of a “commission on sentencing” to be tasked with developing guidelines for “the numerous factors affecting the length or severity of sentences.” Judge Frankel’s book paved the way for modern sentencing reform, spurring the enactment of numerous sentencing reforms at the state level and the passage of the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 which completely rebuilt the federal sentencing system. As a result,
Criminal Sentences: Law Without Order
has affected tens of millions of defendants sentenced in state and federal courts over the last half-century.
At the same time, some have suggested his proposals—or at least their implementation—have contributed significantly to the growth of prison populations in recent decades. Reflecting on Judge Frankel’s book a half-century later can provide profound insights and perspectives on how modern sentencing has evolved and where it should be headed. The one-day symposium will bring together sentencing experts from academia and law practice to discuss various aspects of Judge Frankel’s ideas, how they have played out over the last half-century, and whether they should guide us for the next fifty years.
This full-day event will include a light breakfast, multiple plenary panels, lunch, two sets of concurrent panels, a fireside chat, and a closing reception. Please find the day's
