      "title": "The Jurisprudence of Justice John Paul Stevens: Selected Opinions on the Jury\u2019s Role in Criminal Sentencing",
      "summary": "Justice Stevens has played a critical role in the Supreme Court\u2019s interpretation of a jury\u2019s role in criminal sentencing. In 2000, he wrote the majority opinion for the Court in Apprendi v. New Jersey, a landmark case in which the Court held that a judge typically may not increase a sentence beyond the range prescribed by statute unless the increase is based on facts determined by a jury \u201cbeyond a reasonable doubt.\u201d In 2005, he wrote one of two majority opinions in United States v. Booker, in which the Court applied the Apprendi rule to the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. In those two cases and in several other cases on this issue during the past few decades, Justice Stevens has been a leading voice, articulating a broad interpretation of the jury trial and due process rights at issue.",
