Description

Developing Professional Skills: Income Taxation Stephanie Hunter McMahon ISBN 9798892091206

This book introduces students to the practice of tax law through hands-on exercises that place foundational income tax concepts into realistic transactional and controversy-based settings. Rather than focusing solely on doctrine, the book emphasizes practical application, allowing students to experience how tax law operates in everyday legal practice.

Students engage in tasks such as marking up tax provisions in form agreements, drafting basic term sheets, preparing paragraphs for protest letters, and writing descriptions for applications for tax-exempt status under § 501(c)(3). These exercises mirror the work of practicing tax attorneys and reinforce key concepts from an introductory income tax course.

The book’s modular design enables professors to incorporate one or two exercises per semester, making it an effective tool for developing practice-ready students and supporting preparation for the NextGen bar exam. The exercises are compatible with any income tax casebook, and each fact pattern supplies all necessary legal rules and factual information, allowing students to focus on analysis and drafting rather than research.

Each exercise includes an embedded ethical issue to prompt professional responsibility discussions, as well as an optional research prompt for deeper exploration. Designed for efficiency, each exercise requires only ten to fifteen minutes of class time and approximately one to two hours to complete the written assignment. Faculty may choose to provide individualized feedback or use sample student submissions supplied by the author as instructional models.
