LAWS 2267

The course is an introductory course in tax policy. The focus of the course is on the basic principles, theories, and tools of public policy analysis within the context of tax expenditures (spending programs delivered through the tax system). The materials read throughout the course draw on multiple disciplinary lenses, including sociology, economics, and political science. Students should therefore find that this course assists in bridging their undergraduate and law school knowledge. Additionally, as a major paper course, Tax Policy should refine students' legal research and writing skills.
