Legal Commentary

I'm thrilled to announce an upcoming conference at Florida State Law about "Criminal Justice and the Constitution in 2020." Everyone's invited--please tell all your crimprof friends, among others.

Florida State University College of Law and the American Constitution Society are pleased to present a symposium dedicated to an exploration of current and future developments in crime control and equality, punishment and the Constitution, national security and liberty, and citizenship and community. Click here to register for the conference. There is no fee to register but we do ask attendees to register in advance so we can plan accordingly. And if you're coming to town, let me know--and I'll fill you in on the relevant social stuff too.
