Current Issues in Tax Law and Policy Colloquium

January-April 2018
Select Mondays, 4:30–6:30 p.m.
UC Irvine School of Law, Room MPAA 420 (Directions)

This colloquium runs every spring. Leading tax scholars and tax-policy experts are invited to present their works-in-progress to a tax law seminar class at UC Irvine School of 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. UC Irvine School of Law is a State Bar-approved MCLE provider.
