With the First Step Act of 2018 came the great hope of expanded grounds and use of "Compassionate Release."   Judges were offered the promise of wider discretion to give deserving clients a second look at sentencing. But, the Supreme Court just made compassionate release a whole lot harder to get, because in two back-to-back decisions — Fernandez and Rutherford — the Court slammed the door on two of the most frequently used grounds for eligibility. In this episode, Passon convenes two of the sharpest minds in federal sentencing — regular guest Mark Allenbaugh and returning star Prof. Doug Berman — for a deep-dive reaction.  Together, we break down what each case actually holds, where the majority reasoning goes wrong, why the dissents matter, and — critically — what still works.  Because even though it seems the door is shrinking---  it hasn't closed. If you litigate compassionate release, this episode is required listening!   IN THIS EPISODE: History of compassionate release; (25:12) Discussion of Fernandez; Advice for arguing around these two restrictive opinions; (39:00) Discussion of Rutherford; How both opinions usurp the role of both Congress and the US Sentencing Commission; (56:00)  How two pending cases, Maxwell and Beaird, may impact future compassionate release cases   LINKS: Sentencing Law and Policy – A new home for SL&P  (Berman's Blog) A great substack where Prof. Berman frequently contributes:  Sentencing Matters Substack | DAB | Substack On that note, here's a great SM Substack piece from today on this very issue: https://open.substack.com/pub/sentencing/p/textualism-in-name-policymaking-in?r=1f0z1k&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email Link to Judge Block's Book, A Second Chance: A Federal Judge Decides Who Deserves It, on Amazon:  https://a.co/d/07xJD1zs Drugs on the Docket, Season 3:  Excited for start to Season Three of "Drugs on the Docket" podcast | Sentencing Law and Policy Set for Sentencing is heading to Substack!  We have not officially launched, but by all means, subscribe for future awesomeness coming down the pike: https://substack.com/@dougpassonlaw  

What are the keys to creating strong partnerships between nonprofits and mission-aligned service providers? Today, I talk with Texas Health Huguley CEO Penny Johnson and Maggie Beaird, Development Director for the American Heart Association, to talk about one of AHA's North Texas signature fundraising events, the Tarrant County Go Red For Women Luncheon. One of North Texas's most successful and impactful luncheons each year, the American Heart Association Go Red for Women Luncheon in Fort Worth draws hundreds of top community leaders and medical advocates to raise awareness for heart disease, which is the leading cause of death for women in the United States. One of the keys to the events success is creating strong partnerships with top medical facilities in the region such as Texas Huguley Health Hospital. Penny and Maggie provide valuable insights on a range of topics, including the importance of long-term planning in creating successful community partnerships, giving events with a national/global mission a local feel, utilizing fundraising events to develop deeper relationships with top donors and community leaders, plus so much more. This is one episode you will not want to miss.

This season, we traveled around the country to take a look under the hood of nine US National Science Foundation-funded Regional Innovation Engines. We learned about pressing issues facing our country, our economy, and the world in sectors as varied as water, energy, semiconductors, textiles, agriculture, biomedical, and climate resiliency. We uncovered how these innovation ecosystems are tackling these wicked problems for their regions and for all of us.For the final episode of the season, I'm sharing some of my key takeaways from these conversations and I'll chat with three practitioners from The Engine who've been working closely with all of the Innovation Engines over the last year to get their perspective and learn what insights from this massive undertaking we can apply in our own day-to-day ecosystem building.Dr. Amy Beaird is a Senior Platform Manager at The Engine, where she collaborates with the NSF to catalyze innovation ecosystems across ten U.S. regions.
