Moot Court: United States v. Baier

November 17, 2009 • 12:00 PM • Law School 4049

All are invited to watch the Moot Court Board's National Championship Competition teams moot the fictional case of United States v. Baier. The teams will argue whether a sentence of life without parole for a juvenile, non-homicide offender violates the Eighth Amendment. They will also discuss the proper standard for a change of venue under Fed. R. Crim. Pro. 21(a). Professors Ernie Young, Jim Coleman, Kate Bartlett, and Marin Levy will judge the event.
