Skills Workshop: Tax Practice

This workshop will introduce students to the skills needed to be a successful tax practitioner. Students will focus on developing analytical, research, writing and communication skills for various stakeholders. During the workshop, we will work through case studies and scenarios, which will allow students to practice client communication and counseling. Students will also have the opportunity to practice identifying and responding to various challenges faced by tax attorneys. Although this course will not be focused on in-depth tax substantive law, there will be abbreviated units on relevant tax law needed to complete the case studies. Prerequisite: Federal Income Taxation I (Basic)
