Program in Criminal Law and Procedure
From Albert J. Harno to Charles Bowman to Wayne LaFave, the University of Illinois College of Law has long enjoyed a strong presence in the field of criminal law and procedure. To capitalize on this strength, the Program in Criminal Law and Procedure was created in 2005. The goals of the Program are to promote scholarship and discussion on criminal law related topics, by funding conferences and other programs, by promoting teaching and service related to criminal law, and by publicizing the work of the Illinois faculty who are nationally and internationally renowned for their work in these fields.
The founders and Director of the Program is Andrew D. Leipold, the Edwin M. Adams Professor of Law. Other Program members are Emeritus Professor Wayne R. LaFave, Professors J. Steve Beckett, Margareth Etienne, Patrick Keenan, Michael S. Moore, Jacqueline E. Ross, Bruce P. Smith, and Ekow N. Yankah.
During the 2005-2006 academic year the Program sponsored a Criminal Law Colloquium, bringing in top scholars from around the country to present their works in progress. The Program has also co-sponsored a sentencing conference on The Impact of Booker: A Dialogue Between Scholars and Practitioners, presented by Program members Margareth Etienne and Steve Beckett, and Undercover Policing and Emerging Enforcement Powers: Perspectives from Two Sides of the Atlantic, presented by Program member Jacqueline Ross.
