Sanford E. Sarasohn Conference on Critical Issues in Comparative and International Taxation II: Taxation and Migration
Saint Louis University School of Law
March 31, 2017
sponsored by The Center for International and Comparative Law of Saint Louis University School of Law, The Saint Louis University Law Journal, and The Sanford E. Sarasohn Endowment Fund
As ever growing numbers of individuals seek economic and political refuge in Europe and North America, and increasing numbers of individuals and businesses seek refuge from the tax burdens of their home jurisdictions in lower tax jurisdictions, these in- and out- migrations strain the national economies of affected countries causing them to modify their taxation rules and structures. This conference will explore the effects of taxation on migration and the effects of migration on taxation. Papers on any topic related to taxation and migration of individuals or entities are welcome but those offering a critical perspective or addressing the impact of taxation on, and taxation changes relating to acceptance of, migrants from conflict areas are preferred. Please submit paper proposal abstracts by e-mail to Professor Henry Ordower at ordoweh@slu.edu no later than May 25, 2016. Notification of proposal acceptance is targeted for July 1, 2016.
As a condition to participation, those submitting abstracts must commit to produce 1) a draft paper no later than March 13, 2017 for circulation to conference participants and for presentation at the conference and 2) a final original paper no later than June 5, 2017 for publication by Saint Louis University Law Journal. Papers are limited to approximately 15 printed pages, including footnotes.
Saint Louis University will defray some or all travel expenses for accepted presenter/authors. The conference organizers plan to determine the extent of the travel benefit and notify participants by January 12, 2017. If airfare is provided, authors must make their travel arrangements through Saint Louis University School of Law.
Professors Kelly Mulholland, Henry Ordower, and Kerry Ryan will convene the Sarasohn Conference in 2017 as day one of the two-day 20th Critical Tax Theory Conference.
