Judicial Sentencing.

Catalog description

This seminar provides a thorough introduction to sentencing law, policy and practice through weekly classes and separately scheduled workshops involving students and invited judges and criminal-justice practitioners. Classes focus on legal and policy dimensions of sentencing, particularly under North Carolina law, and correctional programs. The workshops are intensive case discussions, for which students and other participants must prepare by reading case studies, propose sentences for each case, and preparing to discuss them.
