Title: Incorporating the Procedural Justice Model into Federal Sentencing Jurisprudence in the Aftermath of United States v. Booker: Establishing United States Sentencing Courts
Abstract: Legislatures and courts should strive to achieve, through the sentencing decision, the “best” or most equitable result. That result depends upon producing proper outcomes that are also the product of fundamentally fair procedures. The creation and implementation of sentencing courts -- at both the state and federal levels -- can achieve these objectives. Sentencing courts will be a forum where the free flow of information concerning the factors relating to the charged offense, along with the defendant's character and background can lead to individualized sentences that further the purposes of criminal punishment.
