ATPI Seeks Faculty Interested in Coordinating Tax/Financial Literacy Program Taught by Law Students

The American Tax Policy Institute (ATPI) invites expressions of interest from law school faculty members interested in implementing a tax literacy program taught by law students in partnership with a local secondary school during the 2025-2026 academic yearThe aim of this program is to teach young people basic financial and tax concepts in a non-partisan, non-technical, interactive manner, and to increase law student engagement with their local communities. The law school faculty advisor will be responsible for recruiting, identifying and coordinating with a local secondary school partner as well as supervising the program in the law school. ATPI will provide training materials, a modifiable curriculum, and teaching materials for use by law students. ATPI is also available to provide Zoom-based training for law student volunteersif the faculty member does not wish to personally conduct the training. ATPI Trustees, including Professor Marjorie Kornhauser, who successfully ran a similar program at Tulane Law School, are available to provide additional guidance and support to law faculty members and law students.

 

This tax literacy program is ideal for law schools interested in expanding their pro bono offerings to include activities that may be of particular interest to students interested in taxation and financial matters, as well as those interested in education and teaching. The program also provides tax professors with the opportunity to engage law students who may not think they have any interest in tax. Such students join the program because they care about pro bono work or teaching and then may discover that they are indeed interested in taxation and go on to take tax courses. It is also appropriate for tax and business-related clinics that might like to include a community outreach and teaching component.

 

ATPI is a section 501(c)(3) organization whose Trustees and members are some of the leading experts on taxation from the fields of law, accounting and economics. ATPI is a nonpartisan organization that promotes and facilitates scholarly research, analysis, examination, discussion of tax policy proposals and issues, in order to improve the tax system, and to provide assistance to governmental authorities involved in tax administration. 

 

Expressions of interest are kindly requested by April 30, 2025 to Professor Marjorie Kornhauser, [email protected]
