Dean and Professor of Law Nora V. Demleitner participates in conference at Harvard Law School
On Friday, February 13, 2009, Dean and Professor of Law Nora V. Demleitner participated in the 2009 J. Reuben Clark Law Society's annual conference at Harvard Law School.
Together with Pace McConkie, the Director of the Center for Civil Rights Education at Morgan State and Benji McMurray, a Supreme Court Fellow at the Sentencing Commission, Dean Demleitner spoke on the panel about The Impact of Sentencing Guidelines on Civil Rights.
Professor Charles Ogletree of Harvard Law School moderated. Dean Demleitner's remarks focused on the exceptionalism of the U.S. incarceration rate, which is due, in part to the excessive focus on "truth-in-sentencing" and the proliferation of post-release sanctions.
