Tax Law governs financial regulations that drive economic activity. This legal field assists clients with: organizing and negotiating commercial deals, analyzing tax consequences of financing agreements, partnerships, and employee benefits, establishing and managing nonprofit entities and inheritance strategies, and interpreting U.S. tax laws for cross-border dealings. Tax lawyers advocate for clients before government revenue agencies and provide guidance on how existing and proposed laws affect both corporate operations and individual wealth management.
To complete the Tax Law specialization, students need to earn at least 16 credits from designated core and elective classes. A passing grade of C (2.33) or better is mandatory for all graded courses counting toward the requirements. Students cannot opt for pass/fail grading on courses needed for the concentration. While exceptions are rare, course substitutions might be approved under special circumstances
