30 Women's Rights Law Reporter 184 (Fall 2008) |
Much like Bill Clinton hailed the end of welfare as we know it, George Bush proudly announced the end of profligate debtors and bankruptcy abuse by signing the long-gestating Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (2005 Act).

TAX FAIRNESS |
65 Washington and Lee Law Review 1323 (Fall, 2008) |
This Article argues that, contrary to the consensus of economists and many legal scholars, the norm of horizontal equity in taxation has independent meaning as a default rule in favor of existing arrangements.

TAX SHELTERS AND THE TAX MINIMIZATION NORM: HOW DOES THE PATENTING OF TAX ADVICE TRANSFORM THE (GLOBAL) PLAYING FIELD |
9 Journal of Law in Society 29 (Summer, 2008) |
The U.S. tax administration began a new era of enforcement by focusing on cloned tax shelters that were marketed by ambitious accounting and tax law firms to small groups of customers.

The summer of 1998 marked the rebirth of America's pastime, Major League Baseball, following several years of stunted growth caused by 1994's player strike. The resurgence is attributed in large part to the general public's fascination with the summer-long chase of Roger Maris's single-season record of sixty-one home runs. The St. Louis Cardinals'... |

The Internal Revenue Code (the Code) contains numerous special rules applicable to the income taxation of persons related by marriage, birth, adoption, or ownership.

Stephen Berzon: Good morning. It struck me yesterday listening to Bob Kuttner's opening talk and then listening to the previous panel how, to some degree, history has a way of repeating itself.
