This is a clinic for students interested in working on tax issues or in representing clients from a planning perspective rather than from a dispute resolution perspective. Students work with course faculty, who are practicing attorneys, assisting eligible non-profit organizations in the process of qualifying, applying for, and maintaining tax-exempt status and related matters. In the course of representation, students interview and counsel clients; conduct negotiations; research tax law and related issues; and draft ruling requests, organizational documents and other tax-related documents. Students meet weekly in a seminar class in addition to working individually with supervising faculty. Some required activities (such as meetings with clients or other entities) might take place during normal business hours, but students have a great deal of flexibility to determine their clinic work time during the course of the semester. This clinic does not generally engage in tax controversy work such as audit, administrative proceedings and litigation representation Grading: Letter graded Credits: variable Offered: Irregularly
