USA December 27 2007

In Kimbrough v. United States, No. 06-6330 (U.S. Dec. 10, 2007) and Gall v. United States, No. 06-7949 (U.S. Dec. 10, 2007) the United States Supreme Court affirmed sentences imposed under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) and found them reasonable, even though they were outside the terms of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines Manual (“Guidelines”). While both of these cases involved drug offenses, the resulting Supreme Court decisions also provide increased latitude for sentencing in white collar cases.

What our clients say

“I find the articles on the Lexology newsfeed very relevant and up to date on a variety of topics of interest to my areas of practice. The authors are reliable and current on the topics about which they opine. Even when several law firms write on the same topic, I can often glean new viewpoints and perspectives from the different firms. The headings are also helpful because they briefly and accurately describe the topic and enable me to quickly and efficiently decide what I may or may not want to read in more detail."
