Speaking Engagement
How Judges Sentence Without a Sentencing Database
Michael Donnelly, of counsel to the Vorys Cleveland office and former justice of The Supreme Court of Ohio, will participate in a seminar titled "How Judges Sentence Without a Sentencing Database" on April 23 at the Cleveland Metropolitan Bar Association.
The seminar will explore how a data-driven reform of Ohio’s criminal sentencing system will improve transparency, promote fairness and consistency, enhance efficiency and ultimately strengthen public confidence in the judiciary. Michael will be joined by Brian Mikelbank, an associate professor of urban studies at Cleveland State University as well as staff writers for The Marshall Project of Cleveland, Brittany Hailer, Doug Livingston and Mark Puente.
