SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Practitioners Advisory Group is a
standing advisory group of the United States Sentencing Commission
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 995 and Rule 5.4 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure. Under the charter for the advisory group, the
purpose of the advisory group is (1) to assist the Commission in
carrying out its statutory responsibilities under 28 U.S.C. 994(o); (2)
to provide to the Commission its views on the Commission's activities
and work, including proposed priorities and amendments; (3) to
disseminate to defense attorneys, and to other professionals in the
defense community, information regarding federal sentencing issues; and
(4) to perform other related functions as the Commission requests. The
advisory group consists of not more than 17 voting members, each of
whom may serve not more than two consecutive three-year terms. Of those
17 voting members, one shall be Chair, one shall be Vice Chair, 12
shall be circuit members (one for each federal judicial circuit other
than the Federal Circuit), and three shall be at-large members.
To be eligible to serve as a voting member, an individual must be
an attorney who (1) devotes a substantial portion of his or her
professional work to advocating the interests of privately-represented
individuals, or of individuals represented by private practitioners
through appointment under the Criminal Justice Act of 1964, within the
federal criminal justice system; (2) has significant experience with
federal sentencing or post-conviction issues related to criminal
sentences; and (3) is in good standing of the highest court of the
jurisdiction or jurisdictions in which he or she is admitted to
practice. Additionally, to be eligible to serve as a circuit member,
the individual's primary place of business or a substantial portion of
his or her practice must be in the circuit concerned. Each voting
member is appointed by the Commission.
The Commission invites any individual who is eligible to be
appointed to a voting membership covered by this notice (i.e., the
circuit memberships for the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Circuits, and
one at-large membership) to apply by sending a letter of interest and a
resume to the Commission as indicated in the ADDRESSES section above.
