Course Description


The new Sentencing Guidelines (8th edition) are dramatically different. Every judge will be required to use them for crimes occurring on or after January 1, 2024. This training will highlight the monumental changes and guide prosecutors on new methods for calculating prior record score and evaluating if prior convictions or juvenile adjudications have lapsed. You will become familiar with the expanded offense gravity score categories and learn how to incorporate appropriate enhancements when determining standard, aggravated, and mitigated sentencing ranges. Discussion of new policy recommendations for sentencing judges to consider when imposing consecutive vs. concurrent sentences, length of probation and departures from the standard range, will prepare you to respond to defense arguments and better represent victims and the Commonwealth at sentencing hearings.
