CDAM - Sentencing Guidelines: Part III - Advanced Topics


Time: November 18, 2026 - 2-3pm
Location: Zoom

Presenter: Kristin LaVoy

This one-hour session is for those who are more comfortable with guidelines scoring and are looking for training on more advanced topics. This session will cover more challenging guidelines issues such as Dupree and Beck challenges, how out of state prior convictions affect guidelines, how to score Ovs 11, 12, and 13, and more. A good understanding of the guidelines or attendance at part two is recommended.

Take aways:

  • Understand how non-scorable misdemeanors interact with the 10-year gap
  • Learn how to categorize and score out of state priors
  • Apply People v Dupree to OVs 1 and 2 and see how the same reasoning can be extended to other OVs
  • Develop a clear approach to scoring OVs 11, 12, and 13
