The Tax Lawyer

The Tax Lawyer welcomes the submission of articles written by admitted members of the bar and by other professionals. Manuscripts by candidates for graduate degrees in law (e.g., LL.M. or M.L.T.) will be considered only if the author is admitted to the bar at the time of submission.

Although the utmost care will be given material submitted, The Tax Lawyer cannot accept responsibility for unsolicited manuscripts. Authors are encouraged to submit articles electronically in the form of an e-mail attachment. Articles submitted as e-mail attachments must be formatted in MS Word. Please use standard formatting and fonts. E-mail submissions should be sent to: Assistant Staff Director, Publications, at taxweb@staff.abanet.org. Please refer to "The Tax Lawyer" in the subject of the e-mail message. Authors who choose to send their manuscripts by regular mail should send three (3) copies, typewritten and double-spaced, to: Assistant Staff Director, Publications, ABA Section of Taxation, 740 15th Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20005.

The Editorial Board of The Tax Lawyer reserves the right to accept or reject any article, note or comment and the right to condition acceptance upon revision of material to conform to its criteria. The Tax Lawyer does not publish material that has been previously published or is scheduled for publication elsewhere. Articles and notes and comments are accepted on the basis of substantive merit, professional interest, appeal to the readers of The Tax Lawyer, timelessness of the topic, clarity of expression, and style. Notes and comments should consist of either analysis of recent developments in tax law or comments on important current tax cases.

Because issues of tax law and policy are frequently controversial, readers of The Tax Lawyer should understand that opinions expressed in articles and notes and comments are solely those of the authors and may differ from those of the American Bar Association , the Section of Taxation of the Association, the Editorial Board of The Tax Lawyer, or the Student Editorial Board of The Tax Lawyer. An article contributed by a public official does not necessarily represent the views of that person's department or agency unless expressly so stated in the particular instance. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as representing the opinions, views or actions of the American Bar Association, or of the Section of Taxation of the Association unless duly approved by the Association or the Section, as the case may be.
