Template:USSGSub/doc

Purpose

This template creates an appropriate external link to a specified page within the United States Sentencing Guidelines (U.S.S.G.), as promulgated by the United States Sentencing Commission and displayed on their website.

By default, it points to the current year's guideline (2012 became effective November 1, 2012), but it also supports the ever-changing URL's for years 2009–2011 (earlier years are under development and may or may not work – use at your own risk).
