Guideline Sentencing: An Outline of Appellate Case Law on Selected Issues. September 2002

摘要

This outline identifes significant developments in federal appellate court decisions on the Sentencing Guidelines and the 1984 Sentencing Reform Act, as amended. It is based largely on cases that have been summarized in Guideline Sentencing Update. The outline does not cover all issues or all cases-it is an overview of selected issues that should be of interest to judges and others who use the guidelines. This outline replaces all previous Center outlines under this title. It includes Supreme Court decisions through June 30, 2002, a comprehensive survey of appellate court cases up to December 31, 2001, and selected additional cases through July 31, 2002.
