Abstract
I devoted a great deal of my teaching energy during the last ten years of my tenure at the University of Minnesota Law School to a course I called the Sentencing Workshop. The Workshop provided a unique opportunity for law students and judges to learn from each other about the intricacies, the successes and failures of the American criminal justice sentencing structure and practice. I will describe it in three phases: initially, to give some context, I will report a dramatic Workshop discussion which occurred the fth or sixth year the course was o ered. A short summary of the program’s mechanics follows, followed by an anecdotal and analytic picture of the Workshop’s pursuit of its several educational missions.
