The Tax Law Clinic offers both trial and appellate tax clinic opportunities to our students. Under the
supervision of clinical faculty, students handle cases in many different stages of
controversy or participate in docketed appellate tax cases. Students learn invaluable
skills handling live clients and drafting appellate briefs while still in law school
and clients benefit from receiving counsel and representation that they otherwise
could not afford. Support Now »
