Recent Developments and Criminal Law Update
Professor Corinna Barrett Lain, University of Richmond School of Law

Goodbye, Stamper? Admission of Defendant’s Mental Condition
Hon. Jacqueline S. McClenney, Richmond Circuit Court, Ashley R. Shapiro, Office of the Public Defender, Leigh Hagan, Ph.D., Forensic Psychologist

For so long, clients have not been able to introduce evidence of their mental condition in their case in chief; §19.2-271.6 changes that! But how do you do it? This panel will discuss what conditions the statute covers from a clinical perspective, practically how to introduce the evidence, and a view from the bench.

Guilty: Now What?
Hon. William W. Sharp (ret.), Warren County Circuit Court, Timothy S. Coyne, Office of the Public Defender, Shannon L. Taylor, Commonwealth’s Attorney

A comprehensive discussion of issues that arise at sentencing, including recent changes to the guidelines that mitigate the sentencing range, and an exploration of alternative sentencing options.
