Position description

The Graduate Tax Program at the University of California, Irvine School of Law offers an innovative, one-of-a-kind LL.M. curriculum that instills students with both the doctrinal depth and the practical skills needed to practice tax law at the highest levels, in the United States or abroad. The Graduate Tax Program aims to produce graduates who are prepared for careers as tax attorneys, judges, tax administrators and policy advocates, as well as markedly enhancing the tax skills of those who are already members of the tax profession.

While of the School of Law is open to proposals for courses reflecting the expertise of experienced practitioners or academics which compliment the goals of the curriculum of each program, we regularly seek qualified instructors to teach courses such as:

Reading, Analysis and Writing in American Law
