在这里学什么？

The Graduate Tax Program is designed for lawyers who seek advanced training in the complexities of tax law. It draws a broad range of students—from recent law school graduates to mid-career attorneys seeking new expertise to seasoned lawyers from both the public and private sectors, including many from the nation’s leading law and tax consulting firms. International students include practitioners, in-house counsel, academics, and government officials.

Program Learning Outcomes

Students will demonstrate: A foundational understanding of the US tax system and operational knowledge of US tax law and process; Understanding of US substantive and procedural tax law that is relevant to their tax specialty; An understanding of US tax discourse, case analysis, and legal reasoning in a tax context, and an overall awareness of how tax lawyers think; Skills in tax research and draftsmanship; Effective communication skills on sophisticated tax topics, both orally and in writing.

LLM in Taxation Degree Requirements

The LLM in Taxation requires successful completion of 24 credits. Students enrolled in the full- or part-time program must complete four or five required courses and are encouraged to choose electives that suit their personal, academic, and professional needs. A full-time student completes the degree requirements in one academic year; a part-time student must complete the degree requirements within four years. Upon request, a student with the appropriate tax background may be excused from taking a required course or a prerequisite or corequisite course in order to take additional elective courses. Students must also complete a tax ethics requirement, which is accomplished by successfully completing LAW TX 914 Standards and Responsibilities or LAW TX 966 Tax Practice Procedure & Standards.

No thesis is required. However, students who are interested in completing a significant writing project under the supervision of a faculty member may do so by arranging an independent research project. Additionally, a student may supplement the program with courses at other Boston University graduate or professional programs such as the Questrom School of Business or Metropolitan College. Upon approval, credit for these courses may be applied toward the LLM in Taxation degree.

An individual who has completed graduate work in taxation at another American Bar Association-approved law school may, upon application, be granted advanced standing in the full- or part-time residential program. However, a minimum of 18 credit hours must be completed at BU Law.
