Tax Law and Public Finance Workshop
Tuesdays 3:30-5:30pm
This workshop introduces students to current research in tax policy and gives them an opportunity to develop skills in reading and critiquing contemporary legal and economic scholarship.
Each week, the workshop hosts a tax scholar, public finance economist, or other expert presenting a working paper on issues of tax law, public finance, and related fields. The workshop is organized and led by Professors John Brooks and Brian Galle.
The workshop is open to the public, and we encourage members of the D.C. tax community to attend and participate in our discussions.
