Tax Law: Paul Faherty Writing Competition

The Center for Tax Law and Employee Benefits at The John Marshall Law School in Chicago has announced the Paul Faherty Tax Law Writing Competition. Any currently enrolled law student may submit a paper for this competition. Suggested topics include public policy issues, critiques of leading cases or doctrines, comments on the need for statutory modification, or comments on a common law doctrine. A grand prize of $3,000, plus two $1,000 honorable mentions will be awarded. The deadline for paper submission is Friday, April 15, 2011, which you’d think would be Tax Day, but this year that event falls on April 18.
