For Students
Students who intern in the Tax Clinic participate
in one of the country's leading tax clinics, aggressively representing
clients in a wide variety of disputes with the Internal Revenue
Service. A full-service federal tax controversy and transactions practice, the
Tax Clinic represents middle-income and small business taxpayers in connection with IRS audits, administrative appeals, asset
seizures and other debt enforcement actions, and trials before
the United States Tax Court and the United States District Court.
Under the supervision of an experienced federal tax litigator,
students receive hands-on experience negotiating settlements with
revenue agents, appeals officers, and attorneys for the IRS; drafting
petitions, discovery, motions and legal memoranda in connection
with pending Tax Court trials; interviewing clients and securing
information from third parties in order to defend a taxpayer's
return position; preparing offers in compromise to reduce a taxpayer's
outstanding debt; and taking an assortment of intervention measures
to minimize or avoid immediate hardship resulting from IRS collection
actions.
