Teaching Tax Law

Post by wserra »

Longtime Fordham Law Professor Constantine Katsoris on teaching tax:
If you’re teaching tax, you’ve got a crazy Congress to keep an eye on, and you can quote that. It takes me, after all these years, 30 hours a week to prep, to bring the course up to date. I have to see what Congress has done, did they attach a tax bill in a farm bill or a trade bill. It’s like learning a play every week.
"A wise man proportions belief to the evidence."
