On behalf of LexisNexis and the Graduate Tax Series Board of Editors (Ellen Aprill (Loyola-L.A.), Elliott Manning (Miami), Philip Postlewaite (Northwestern) & David Richardson (Florida)), I am delighted to announced the publication of the fourth book in our Series, Partnership Taxation, by Richard Lipton (Baker & McKenzie, Chicago), Paul Carman (Chapman & Cutler, Chicago), Charles Fassler (Greenebaum, Doll & McDonald, Louisville) & Walter Schwidetzky (University of Baltimore School of Law).

The Graduate Tax Series is the first series of course materials designed for use in tax LL.M. programs. Like all books in the Series, Partnership Taxation was designed from the ground-up with the needs of graduate tax faculty and students in mind:

• More focus on Internal Revenue Code and regulations, less on case law
• Analysis of complex, practice-oriented problems of increasing sophistication
• Teacher’s manual with solutions to problems and other guidance
• Web site with real-time digital supplementation for faculty (PowerPoint slides and discussion forum with authors) and students (full text of all cases and rulings)
• On-line access to the comprehensive and current Code and regulations, designed to complement the book

Three other books in the Series also are available for adoption now:

• Civil Tax Procedure, by David Richardson (Florida), Jerome Borison (Denver) & Steve Johnson (UNLV)
• Employee Benefits Law:  Qualification Rules and ERISA Requirements, by Kathryn Kennedy (John Marshall) & Paul Shultz (Director, Employee Plans Rulings & Agreement, IRS)
• Federal Tax Accounting, by Michael B. Lang (Chapman), Elliott Manning (Miami) & Steven J. WIllis (Florida)

Other forthcoming books in the Series are:

• Bankruptcy Taxation, by Frances Hill (Miami) & William Lyons (Nebraska)
• Federal Taxation of Property Transactions, by Elliott Manning (Miami) & David Cameron (Northwestern)
• Tax Practice Ethics, by Linda Galler (Hofstra) & Michael Lang (Chapman)
