Blakely Implications for State Courts

The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers has a resource platform posted @
http://www.nacdl.org/public.nsf/newsissues/blakely?opendocument

The site lends access to decisions in Blakely, Hammoud, Pineiro, Booker, and other major related cases from around the country. The Department of Justice memorandum to federal prosecutors, and a lenghty list of news articles are also available.

Also posted are several state-specific commentaries including:

"Blakely v Washington: Implications for State Courts" (Nat'l. Center for State Court )
"Aggravated Sentencing:Blakely v Washington-- Practical Implications for State Sentencing Systems" (Vera Institute of Justice)
