Center for Tax Law and Policy: Past Seminars
Every year the Center for Tax Law and Policy invites a selection of the nation's leading tax scholars to present their best new work in the Center's Tax Policy Seminar Series. The series also invites prominent tax policy personnel from nearby Washington D.C. to talk about the practical application of policy principles.
Seminars are announced by email invitation. Papers are posted ahead of time. Penn Law students play a vital role in the seminar and those wishing to attend may register for Law School's Tax Policy Seminar. Those wishing to be added to the email invitation list-including Penn students who have not signed up for the class-should email Michael Knoll at mknoll@law.upenn.edu.
