Question: How do I look up sentencing guidelines?

Federal

Federal Sentencing Guidelines are published in appendices to Title 18 for both the USCA (Smith KF 60 1927 .W45 and on Westlaw) and USCS (Smith KF 62 .U553 1936x and on Lexis+).

To find relevant statutes, check the General Index.

• In the USCA General Index: Sentence and Punishment > United States Sentencing Commission > Guidelines
• In the USCS General Index: Sentencing Guidelines

The Federal Sentencing Guidelines Manual is also available in print (Smith KF9685.A329 U55). and online (Westlaw).

Michigan

• The current Michigan Sentencing Guidelines Manual is online and updated several times a year.
