Legal professionals with expertise in taxation, estate planning, securities regulations, and fiduciary law are highly valued across both private and public organizations. This dual-degree option is ideal for individuals aiming to build careers at the intersection of accounting and legal practice. Additionally, students gain hands-on experience through the College of Law's Philip C. Cook Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic, where they handle actual cases, engage with the IRS, and assist clients directly.
