ICYMI: Part one of this special two-part issue of the Federal Sentencing Reporter brings together leading judges, scholars, and practitioners to critically assess whether and how the federal drug guidelines should be modernized. Contributors explore pressing questions such as the continued reliance on drug quantity, alternative measures of culpability, fentanyl sentencing in the context of the opioid epidemic, and reforms to mandatory minimums and safety valve eligibility. Timely, substantive, and policy-shaping, this collection is essential reading for anyone invested in the future of federal sentencing reform.

FSR is coedited by DEPC Executive Director and The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law Professor Douglas Berman.
