Last month PT celebrated its 1,000th post and its 2,000th comment. One aspect of the success of the site is that we are occasionally asked to post an announcement because of the number of readers who look at PT. Today, we are happy to comply with a request from the Federal Bar Association Tax Section to publicize its writing competition.
The website for the competition is here. The rules for the competition can be found here and a flyer about the competition can be found here. Effective writing skills will serve any budding tax attorney well. This is a great competition and winning would provide quite an honor (in addition to cash and a trip to D.C.)
We encourage eligible students to write on tax procedures issues and suggest that they can find many good topics from the posts on this blog.
Comment Policy: While we all have years of experience as practitioners and attorneys, and while Keith and Les have taught for many years, we think our work is better when we generate input from others. That is one of the reasons we solicit guest posts (and also because of the time it takes to write what we think are high quality posts). Involvement from others makes our site better. That is why we have kept our site open to comments.
If you want to make a public comment, you must identify yourself (using your first and last name) and register by including your email. If you do not, we will remove your comment. In a comment, if you disagree with or intend to criticize someone (such as the poster, another commenter, a party or counsel in a case), you must do so in a respectful manner. We reserve the right to delete comments. If your comment is obnoxious, mean-spirited or violates our sense of decency we will remove the comment. While you have the right to say what you want, you do not have the right to say what you want on our blog.
