FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
To Our Readers:
This letter begins the Fall 2015 issue of the Criminal Law Practitioner, American University Washington College
of Law's only student-run criminal law publication dedicated to addressing key criminal law issues in ways that
are helpful to practicing attorneys, judges, legislators, and law students. Now in our third year of publication, we
are proud of the progress we've made since launching in Fall 2013. In just three years we've have been fortunate
enough to collaborate with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) and the ABA Criminal
Justice Section. Our last issue, published in Summer 2015, was a collaborative effort between the Practitioner and
the ABA and addressed the ever present issues of collaral consequences within the criminal justice system.
This present issue represents the Practitioner's decision to return to its roots. These four articles advocate and
inform, addressing the use of adult testimony via closed-circuit television; analyzing Maryland handgun laws in light
v. Heller; examining aggregate sentencing under Miller v.
of the Supreme Court's decision in District of Colut
Alabama; and discussing the probability theory in reation to DNA oof. It is our hope that these varied topics will
be of interest to all of our readers.
