The University of Florida Levin College of Law invites submissions for the Emerging Tax Scholars Workshop, to be held November 5–6, 2026, in Gainesville, Florida. The workshop is designed to support early-career scholars developing new research in tax law and policy.
Eligibility
Submissions are welcome from tenure-track law faculty who have not yet received tenure, with particular encouragement for scholars in the early years of teaching. We welcome work in any area of tax law or policy, including domestic, international, comparative, doctrinal, interdisciplinary, and empirical approaches.
Workshop Goals
This is a true workshop, not a conference. Participants will:
- Receive in-depth, constructive feedback on works-in-progress from two dedicated commentators per paper
- Refine projects for publication
- Engage with peers and senior tax scholars
- Build professional networks within the tax community
Format and Support
The workshop will be held in person at the University of Florida Levin College of Law. Participants will circulate draft papers in advance. Each paper will be assigned to two commentators, followed by a group discussion. Attendees are expected to read selected papers beforehand to ensure robust and engaged conversation. Hotel accommodations and meals will be provided. Limited travel support may be available upon request.
Submission Guidelines
Please submit the following in a single PDF:
- A draft paper. (We will also consider detailed abstracts–around 5 pages)
- A current CV
Submission Deadline: Noon, Monday, August 31st
Submissions should be sent to: tritt@law.ufl.edu
Questions may be directed to Lee-ford Tritt, Associate Dean and Director of the Graduate Tax Programs, at tritt@law.ufl.edu.
