Virginia Tax Review Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Virginia Tax Review (VTR) is one of the oldest student-run law journals at the University of Virginia, and the only journal to deal exclusively with tax and corporate topics. VTR publishes four times annually. The journal devoted to matters related to federal taxation.
The VTR was founded in the Spring of 1980 by George Howell and Donald Delson, and the first issue was published in the Spring of 1981. VTR received its initial funding from Mortimer Caplin '40 of Caplin and Drysdale. Therefore, the journal's office in room 151 of Slaughter Hall is dedicated to Caplin and his former partner Douglas Drysdale '53.
VTR's main competition among specialty tax journals are NYU's Tax Law Review and the Florida Tax Review. VTR is currently ranked among the top forty of all specialty journals, and routinely publishes authors from top ten law schools.
The faculty advisors are currently Michael Doran and George Yin. Prior to teaching, Michael Doran worked in the Office of Tax Policy at the U.S. Treasury Department and was a partner at Caplin & Drysdale. George Yin has recently returned from serving as Chief of Staff on the Joint Committee on Taxation. Members of the Virginia tax faculty sponsor a semi-annual tax symposium, the Virginia Tax Study Group, which is an opportunity for distinguished faculty and practitioners to come together and discuss and debate the latest tax issues. The Virginia Tax Study Group Board of Outside Advisors consists of 23 distinuguished practitioners from tax and corporate firms across the country (including William McKee and Mortimer Caplin) and a Tax Court judge.
