In keeping with tradition, the annual Laurence Neal Woodworth Lecture on Federal Tax Law and Policy will be given today at 5:00 p.m. at the first day of the May Meeting of the ABA Tax Section at the Grand Hyatt in Washington, D.C. Michael J. Gratez, Justus S. Hotchkiss Professor of Law at Yale Law School, will deliver the lecture on Meeting the Tax Policy Challenges of the 21st Century. The lecture will be published in the Ohio Northern Law Review, along with other tax articles.
