MSU College of Law Tax Clinic

Welcome to the MSU College of Law Tax Clinic [ ] [ ][ ]

Student clinicians enrolled in Michigan State University College of Law's Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic serve low-income taxpayers who are in controversy with the Internal Revenue Service or who have cases before the United States Tax Court, and counsel persons for whom English is a second language about their rights and responsibilities under the Internal Revenue Code. Student clinicians receive instruction on the intricacies of substantive tax law and tax practice and procedure, and apply this knowledge to resolve clients' tax matters with diligence, excellence, and efficiency. Tax Clinic clinicians receive special permission to practice before the Internal Revenue Service, and also have opportunities to litigate cases in the United States Tax Court. They also educate ESL taxpayers about tax matters by participating in numerous community outreach programs featuring a wide array of tax issues. The Tax Clinic cultivates young lawyers who have a refined sense of responsibility to serve the needs of others.
