The advice that I would give to students
considering pursuing tax law is to
forget your preconceptions. Tax law, I
would say, offers more intrigue than a
show like The Wire and more drama than a telenovela. It is a whole lot of fun
because it's about people. You'll read
about families, you'll read about people,
you recognize, people you don't recognize, 
and when you think about the policy
issues that underlie those cases and
those questions you're going to be
thinking about power, money, privilege;
when you read those cases and learn
about those statutes you're gonna
understand how difficult it is to draw
the lines between who should pay and who shouldn't pay and that matters.
