JD/LL.M. in Taxation and Tax Policy Fellowship Info Session (TuesDAY, mar 10, 11:00 aM, Furman hall room 214)
The Graduate Tax Program will host a meeting for all J.D. students interested in the J.D./LL.M in Taxation program and related scholarship opportunities on Tuesday, March 10 from 11:00 – 11:50 am in Furman Hall 214.
At the meeting, we will discuss the following:
J.D./LL.M. IN TAXATION: Current NYU J.D. students can receive up to 12 credits of LL.M. advanced standing for certain tax courses taken at NYU School of Law and may qualify to obtain a Tax LL.M. with only one additional full-time semester of post-J.D. study. Part-time study is also an option, and part-time students can take online courses. NOTE: For 3Ls who may be interested in this program, the application deadline is April 1, 2015.
TAX POLICY FELLOWSHIP: A small number of 3L J.D./LL.M. in Taxation candidates will be selected to spend up to six months as interns at the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation during Summer 2015 and Fall 2015. A stipend is available, absent outside funding. The fellows will complete the LL.M. in Taxation during the Spring 2016 semester and may receive a scholarship for their semester as LL.M. students.
TAX LAW REVIEW SCHOLARSHIP: The Tax Law Review (TLR), the premier law school journal for tax policy scholarship, often awards a one-half tuition, merit-based scholarship to a J.D./LL.M. student. The winners of the TLR Scholarships serve as student editors, who do cite checking, proofreading, etc. This involves a commitment of approximately 15 hours a week. Students who are eligible to apply are current 2Ls interested in the J.D./LL.M. in Taxation program. A student must have completed Income Taxation and priority will be given to a student who has taken additional tax coursework.
We will explain all of these opportunities in more detail and answer your questions at the meeting. If you are unable to attend, please feel free to direct any questions to John Stephens, Director of the Graduate Tax Program, at john.stephens@nyu.edu or Professor Joshua Blank, Faculty Director of the Graduate Tax Program, at joshua.blank@nyu.edu.
