Overview

Born from the vision of the law students, the Columbia Journal of Tax Law provides a needed forum for academics, practitioners, and policymakers to explore ideas in tax law and policy. Unlike any other tax publication, the Journal aims to bridge the worlds of both theory and practice by targeting scholars, practitioners, and policymakers as its authors and audience.

The Journal is published two times a year. Each issue will aim to include scholarly articles, shorter pieces on hot-topic policy and practice subjects, and student notes.

Vision for the Journal

The Columbia Journal of Tax Law was founded to address the entire tax audience of scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in a single publication, a need that no other tax periodical currently meets. The Journal seeks to contribute meaningfully to the many pressing tax-related questions of our day. The Journal encourages tax experts to use this forum as a means of addressing cutting-edge tax issues.
