UCLA School of Law, Cambridge University Centre for Tax Law, and Tax Analysts’ Tax History Project are soliciting submissions of papers for a conference on Historical Perspectives on Tax Law and Policy. The conference seeks to bring together leading scholars in law, history, political science, economics, and related fields to consider the history of tax law and public finance. The conference will be held July 18-19, 2005, at the UCLA School of Law in Los Angeles, California.

Interested authors may submit either (i) a draft working paper, if available, or (ii) an abstract of the paper along with a brief but detailed description of the project. Submissions should be made by December 1, 2004. The authors of selected papers will be notified by January 31, 2005. The conference sponsors will cover the cost of accommodations for authors selected to present their papers, but authors will be responsible for paying their own travel expenses. For more information, email Joseph Thorndike of Tax Analysts’ Tax History Project.
