Teach Me Federal Tax

[michellina]

I'm enrolled in Estate Drafting this semester, which has 2 pre-reqs: Wills and Federal Tax. I have taken Wills, but never had a chance to take Federal Tax. I'm a 3L and want to go into Family Law, so I'd prefer not to drop the course entirely. My prof has agreed to waive the requirement, but strongly recommended that I try to get some background

Here is a law school outline from my 2002 course (self-extracting compressed Word file from my personal website). I have a BarBri outline too ... if you feel it might be useful, I can email it to you.

that would be excellent! my email address is michelledebra at gmail dot com. Thanks so much!

Oh, also, I can't open the outline for some reason. I downloaded the file, but the letters came out all crazyfied. If you could include that in the email, I would really appreciate that. Thanks!

Get the Chirelstein hornbook, read it, and you'll be fine:

Thanks for the recommendation! I just picked up a cheap used copy on Amazon.com.

Its a very straightforward read. It totally saved me in Tax I.

I was once told that the practice of family law is actually the practice of tax law. Tax considerations are critical when it comes to negotiating a property division in a divorce.
