This e-seminar will focus on the practical aspects of putting together a sentencing presentation that humanizes your client and maximizes the opportunities created by recent Supreme Court precedent.
Join distinguished speaker Ellen Brotman, Esq. of Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads as she leads the discussion on how to develop persuasive themes and what tools to use to bring those themes alive and the difference between departures and variances and how to use those differences to your advantage
She will also offer analysis on how to wean the courts from their reliance on the guidelines by demonstrating how little empirical evidence underscores many of the guidelines and their enhancements. Ms. Brotman will also review how the new Supreme Court cases are playing in the lower courts.
