Peter Barnes to Speak at ABA Midyear Meeting

This joint panel organized by the Standards and Teaching Taxation Committees will explore the role of professors, senior partners, and others in teaching tax ethics and standards to young lawyers in diverse settings. What role should law schools play in introducing tax law students to Circular 230? When and how should tax groups talk to young lawyers about tax opinions, Circular 230 and the way the rules of professional responsibility play out in a tax practice? What topics should receive primary focus? Are there any special concerns for young associates making the transition from law school to practice?
