Federal Sentencing Guide

by Roger W. Haines, Jr., Kevin Cole and Jennifer C. Woll

The Standard Reference on the
Federal Sentencing Guidelines

Top defense lawyers, probation officers, and U.S. attorney’s offices around the country have been depending on the Federal Sentencing Guide since the Guidelines were enacted. Here’s why:

  • Comprehensive — The Guide summarizes and organizes every issue of every appellate-level federal sentencing decision published since the Sentencing Guidelines were enacted in 1987.

  • Well-Organized — A detailed topical index drafted by co-author Roger Haines, a former member of the Sentencing Commission, closely tracks the Guidelines. Within each topic the cases are organized by circuit and each summary begins with a boldfaced single-sentence statement of the holding.

  • Timely — The Guide’s newsletter is published every two weeks, and is published every two weeks, and is produced and shipped in less than 48 hours, so you receive summaries of the very latest cases. A new index is provided every two months, and every six months the cases are cumulated by topic into a soft-cover digest.

  • Reliable — The authors are national authorities on federal sentencing law and co-authors of the leading sentencing treatise. In addition, Roger Haines served as Special Counsel at the Sentencing Commission, is a member of the Attorney General’s Advisory Subcommittee on the Sentencing Guidelines, and is on the Board of Advisors of the Federal Sentencing Reporter.

Federal Sentencing Guide includes the following:

  • 8 bound volumes with digests of every issue of every appellate-level sentencing case published since 1987, when the Guidelines went into effect.

  • A full-text CD-ROM, containing the entire database of case summaries.

  • Soft-cover cumulative supplements, published twice annually and organized by topic, covering the cases summarized since the last hardbound volume.

  • Biweekly newsletters, reporting all the new decisions in every circuit.

  • Bimonthly cumulative indexes, covering all cases published since the latest supplement.

The Federal Sentencing Guide has become the number one source of Guideline law. it is the most complete and the easiest-to-use method for finding all cases on any Guideline subject.  The annotations summarize every issue of every published opinion on the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, by topic and circuit.  The legal principles are placed in their factual context, with a boldfaced statement of the holding for quick scanning. 

The books and the CD follow the same organization as the Guidelines themselves.  Citations include all subsequent history, and are continually updated in the biweekly newsletters, bimonthly indexes, and periodic softbound supplements.  the annotations also include amendments to the Guidelines, and selected law review articles.
