A Critical Tax Conference at FSU
Some of the nation’s leading tax law faculty members will be at Florida State College of Law on April 4-5 for the 2008 Critical Tax Conference. Event hosts are Florida State prawfs Joseph Dodge, Brian Galle and Charlene Luke. The annual conference has been in existence for about a decade and is hosted by a different institution each year. The event allows tax scholars to present their works-in-progress for feedback from peers. From the schedule, it looks like there will be some conversation about the nature of critical tax theory as well. This year's presenters include:
Yariv Brauner, University of Florida
Kim Brooks, McGill University
Neil Buchanan, George Washington University
Joseph Dodge, Florida State University
Brian Galle, Florida State University
Wendy Gerzog, University of Baltimore
Lily Kahng, Seattle University
Sarah Lawsky, George Washington University
Leandra Lederman, Indiana University
Charlene Luke, Florida State University
Beverly Moran, Vanderbilt University
Henry Ordower, St. Louis University
Diane Ring, Boston College
Mildred Robinson, University of Virginia
Nancy Shurtz, University of Oregon
Nancy Staudt, Northwestern University
You can find a pdf of the conference schedule here. I believe the sessions are open at least to faculty and probably others too. (Note to BDG: I have diligently scrubbed this post of all the obvious tax prof conference jokes.)

"...all the obvious tax prof conference jokes..."
A critical tax conference? I'm not sure there's any tax conference we couldn't live without.

Can't resist pointing out that the really cool subject areas like tax and intellectual property are awash in brilliant and talented women law profs, and this conference roster helps highlight that (well, for tax, anyway).

Tax professor jokes!
Why did the tax professor fall asleep before he died?
His life flashed before his eyes.
How can you tell an extroverted tax professor?
He looks at your shoes when he's talking to you instead of at his own.
A woman hears from her doctor that she has only half a year to live. This is devastating news, of course, so she seeks a second opinion. The second doctor listens carefully to her symptoms, runs a number of tests, and finally says, "You should marry a tax professor and move to the far reaches of North Dakota."
The woman is relieved, but a little confused. "So that will cure me?" she says.
"Oh, no," says the second doctor, "but that'll be the longest six months you ever had."
However, I still do not know (a) how many tax professors it takes to change a light bulb or (b) why the tax professor crossed the road, and would appreciate input from others on these matters.

We're grateful for the publicity, and certainly encourage the world to read the ultimate results of the conference proceedings, but attendance is by invitation solamente. I'm sure this disappoints the legions who would otherwise have hopped on Delta for an up-close view of tax theory in the making.
