Julie Roin (Chicago), chair of the AALS Tax Section, wants feedback from the Tax Prof community on the topic for next year’s meeting:

As this year’s president of the AALS tax section, I am trying to pick a topic for next year’s panel presentation. I can’t think of any tax topic that correlates well with the overall topic for next year’s conference ("Scholarship and Service"), and was thinking of going with a topic I am particularly interested in: "Can the Income Tax Survive in a Globalized Economy?" At the same time, I recognize that many tax profs know very little about international tax issues, and may wish to keep it that way! So — I am looking for reactions. Would you be interested in seeing a panel on this topic or should I pick a thoroughly domestic tax topic? And if so, any suggestions? Also, of course, if you are interested in presenting a paper on the Globalized Economy topic, I would love to hear from you. Thanks for your help.

Please email Julie here with your suggestions.
