NYU Law's Graduate Tax Program and the Tax Practice of KPMG have joined together to create a lecture series on Current Issues in Taxation. Distinguished lecturers are brought to NYU Law each year to discuss a timely issue that may arise from recent or proposed legislation, regulations, cases or IRS rulings.
The series is a unique venture that brings together academics from NYU Law and distinguished tax advisors from KPMG. Representatives from each institution serve as panelists to comment on the lecture from their different professional perspectives. At a time when in some quarters there is tension between the academy and private practice, the NYU Law/KPMG lectures demonstrate that the two branches of the tax discipline can work together effectively to provide the highest level of consideration of current tax issues.
Our goals are to ensure that each year's lecture is the intellectual highlight of the student's year at NYU School of Law and to provide high-quality continuing legal education for alumni of the NYU Law Graduate Tax Program and KPMG partners and associates. These goals epitomize the balance between academic insight and practical experience that the GTP strives to achieve. The goal and expectations of NYU School of Law and KPMG are that the Lectures on Current Issues in Taxation will be recognized as the premier resource to which students, teachers and practitioners look for in-depth analysis and discussion of the most important issues in taxation in the United States.
