All current students in the Tax Program are cordially invited to attend the Annual Luncheon meeting of the Washington State Bar Association's Taxation Section. The luncheon will be held on Tuesday, May 24, from 11:30 - 1:30 at the Columbia Tower Club (75th floor of the Bank of America Tower, 701 Fifth Avenue). This year's guest speaker will be Brett A. Weaver, Partner-in-Charge of KPMG Western Area International Corporate Services.
The $45 registration fee pays for everything, including tax and tip. Because we want to have a nice showing of Tax Program students at this event, the Tax Program will pay your $45 registration fee if you register with Allison Blahna by Wednesday, May 11. When you register with Allison (ablahna@uw.edu) be sure to indicate your choice of meal: Roasted Beef Tenderloin, Grilled Mahi Mahi, or Pecan Pesto Pasta (vegetarian).
This event is always a good opportunity for connecting with other practicing tax attorneys in the Puget Sound region. Business attire is required, as the Columbia Tower Club has a dress code. You will be denied entrance to the club if you arrive in casual attire.

Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic

See further details below.
Juvenile and Special Education Law Clinic
Took Crowell Institute for At-Risk Youth
Clinic faculty and law students represent children and parents of children in special education, school discipline, delinquency, and Medicaid matters. Its nationally- acclaimed approach supplements traditional delinquency defense with, where appropriate, advocacy to address the special education needs of children who are facing delinquency charges. The newly established Took Cromwell Institute for At-Risk Youth has enhanced the Clinic’s ability to do systemic reform work.
Clinic Director: Professor Joseph B. Tulman
Candidates should be a member of the DC Bar, preferably with at least two years experience representing children charged in delinquency matters. Experience handling school discipline, special education, and Medicaid matters is desirable.
Low-Income Taxpayer Clinic
The Clinic represents taxpayers who have active tax controversies pending with the IRS, in U.S. Tax Court or state and local tax jurisdictions. The Clinic’s client-centered counseling approach often results in finding solutions that avoid trial and places clients on more sound financial footing.
Clinic Director: Professor Keith Blair
Candidates should have two years relevant practice experience and be a member of the Bar of the District of Columbia.
Housing and Consumer Law Clinic
The majority of the Clinic’s work involves representation of individuals and small groups in affirmative habitability actions, illegal rent increase, eviction, predatory loan, foreclosure, and fair housing matters. The Clinic also handles cases on behalf of
consumers against merchants, and homeowners against contractors, in disputes involving sales and services.
Clinic Director: Professor Edward Allen
Candidates must have a minimum of two years relevant practice experience and be a member of the Bar of the District of Columbia.
