· United States v. Salerno (1987) discussing pretrial detention

· Bordenkircher v. Hayes (1978) discussing plea bargaining

· Harmelin v. Michigan (1991) discussing cruel and unusual punishment

· Rhodes v. Chapman (1981) discussing prison conditions and overcrowding

· McCleskey v. Kemp (1987) discussing racial discrimination challenges

Join ACS as they host Judge Carlton Reeves, Chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission, in Eck 1140. Judge Reeves will be discussing what he believes to be a "call to serve" amongst lawyers given recent events in the legal profession.
