The Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business has issued a call for papers for its 2010 Symposium Issue, International Tax Reform in a Reset Economy:

This topic is particularly timely as a result of general tax reform efforts being taken by the Obama Administration, as well as numerous recent tax reform proposals in the international area by the President’s Advisory Panel on Tax Reform during the Bush Administration and the ABA’s Tax Force on International Tax Reform. The symposium will revolve around four principal topics: (1) problems with the existing international tax regime; (2) potential contours of international tax reform; (3) incremental versus fundamental reform; and (4) the political reality of reform. The authors of articles selected for the symposium issue may be invited to participate on the symposium panels along with other invited other scholars and practitioners from academic, government, and industry groups.

JILB’s Symposium event will take place on Friday, April 9, 2010 at the Northwestern Law School located in downtown Chicago. Abstracts and paper outlines will be accepted through Nov. 20, 2009. Selected participants will be notified of acceptance of submitted proposals by Nov. 30, 2009.  To subnit a paper or to request nore information, contact Aaron Suh, Executive Articles Editor.
