Our condolences to the family and friends of Tax Court Judge Howard Dawson, who passed away on July 15th. Judge Dawson devoted a substantial portion of his career and life to the administration of the tax system, and was the longest serving Tax Court Judge. Judge Dawson was appointed in 1962 by JFK, and was amazingly still hearing and deciding cases this year.
The entire Tax Court announcement regarding Judge Dawson’s illustrious career can be found here. We are grateful for his service and many, many contributions and achievements.

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.
