ABA Law Student Tax Challenge

at Lewis & Clark Law School
2009-2010

 

 

September 7, 2009

 

The ABA Tax Section Young Lawyers Forum, sponsor of the LSTC, has posted this year’s problem and rules, here.  We’ve got two teams, and we’ve begun meeting to discuss rules and tax research techniques.  These meetings will continue for the next week or two, and then our teams will be pretty much on their own.  I can offer some guidance, but under the rules of the competition, I am quite circumscribed in how much I can say.

 

Participants should sign up for the LSTC listserv, but at this writing, it apparently has not yet been set up.  At least, I have been unable to join, and at least one student participant has told me that she has run into the same problem.  Please e-mail me (bojack@lclark.edu) if you break through on that front; I’ll notify our teams if I do.

Welcome back to law school, and welcome to this year’s Law Student Tax Challenge program!

 

This year’s problem will be released by the ABA Tax Section within the next few weeks.  In the meantime, we will need to meet twice, for two hours each time, for an introduction to federal tax research.  We will try to get at least one, if not both, of these sessions done by Labor Day (Sep. 7).

 

Please e-mail me (bojack@lclark.edu) at your earliest convenience with times that will work for you during the weeks of Aug. 24 and Aug. 31.  Please give me a handful of times to pick from.  The times of our meetings will be announced on or about Aug. 24.

 

Last year’s problem and last year’s official rules (along with more details about the ABA competition) are here.
