Judge Nancy Gertner, U.S. District Court (D. Mass.)

For our 2010 Friedman & Gilbert Criminal Justice Forum, Judge Gertner will speak about criminal sentencing and its goals: “Have We Become an Overly Punitive Society? A View from the Bench.” Info about the forum. See also her bio in Almanac of the Federal Judiciary (WL: AFJ or Ref KF 8700 .A19 A4). One of the cases mentioned there, United States v. Leviner, 31 F. Supp. 2d 23 (D. Mass. 1998), in which The Federal Sentencing Guidelines were considered, is available on Google Scholar, along with “how cited.”

P.S. Judge Gertner is also the judge who had the music downloading case Sony BMG Music v. Tenenbaum last year; but her visit here really is not about the issues of that case.
