Tax Policy Colloquium
Leading tax scholars and tax-policy experts are invited to present their works-in-progress to a tax law seminar class at UCI Law. Papers are discussed ahead of the presentations and students are required to draft short response essays. The response essays are shared with the presenters. This format allows students a unique opportunity to meaningfully engage cutting-edge research in tax policy. This colloquium differentiates itself from similar workshops by strongly emphasizing current tax issues.
Tax practitioners, faculty from outside the law school, and anyone with a keen interest in tax policy are welcome to attend. Light refreshments will be served.
These events are approved for 2.0 Continuing Legal Education Credit by the State Bar of California. UCI Law is a State Bar-approved MCLE provider.
If you wish to attend any of the presentations, please RSVP via the links below.
If you have questions, wish to request reasonable accommodations for a disability, or would like to be added to the mailing list and receive invitations to Colloquium presentations, please email taxpolicy@law.uci.edu.
