Student Representatives listen intently to a presentation

The Clinic class meets for 2 hours each week. The class is comprised of lectures, simulations, and class projects which emphasize the understanding of various Internal Revenue Service documents, forms and correspondence.

This course also covers interview skills, negotiation techniques and stresses the absolute necessity of taxpayer confidentiality when representing a taxpayer before the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Tax Court.

A complete memorandum of law must be completed for each client. A simulated financial statement and Offer-in-Compromise negotiation must be completed on a simulated taxpayer situation. Additionally, we conduct a simulated defense of a taxpayer before the IRS Appeals or Chief Counsel's Office.
