Juvenile Sentencing: Life without Parole - Cruel & Unusual or Necessary & Appropriate?

The Criminal Law Society and Criminal Law Brief are hosting a panel on the issue of juveniles receiving life without parole sentences for non-homicide crimes. On Nov. 9, the Supreme Court will hear, separately, two cases on this issue. Those cases, Graham v. Florida and Sullivan v. Florida both involve juveniles who are serving life without parole for crimes that did not result in a homicide. Many organizations filed amicus briefs on both sides and this panel will include represented from such organizations as the National District Attorneys Association and Campaign for the Fair Sentencing of Youth. Further details about the panelists will be available soon.
