Stephen Bough present at the 2018 Heart of America Sentencing Guidelines ConferenceThe District of Kansas, the Western District of Missouri, the United States Sentencing Commission, and the Federal Bar Association were honored to host the Heart of America Sentencing Guidelines Conference on April 26 & 27, 2018. Over 175 federal judges, U.S. Attorneys, Federal Public Defenders, private counsel and probation officers attended the two day event. The first day was focused on the basics of the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. Day two included presentations from practitioners and legal experts from the U.S. Sentencing Commission. Attendees also heard from experts within the Bureau of Prisons. The highlight for many was a conversation between Judge Richard Kopf and Georgetown Law Professor Shon Hopwood.
