Author Description

Federal Tax Law: Practice, Problems, and Perspective by Stephen Utz is a concise, user-friendly, accessible casebook with practice-ready features and robust online content. Featuring a stimulating, challenging, yet transparent presentation, Federal Tax Law retains the subtlety of classic texts while commenting explicitly on overlapping elements of statutory, regulatory and other sources of income tax law. This approach, combined with innovative online companion materials, allows students to see connections between policy and real-world practice. KEY FEATURES: Modern pedagogy featuring multiple learning modalities, immersive learning experiences, adaptive assessment, and measurable learning outcomes. Numerous examples richly illustrate the introduction of new material, and factually detailed problems offer students the opportunity to test their understanding of each sub-topic. Interpretive questions after cases and rulings encourage careful student reading of sources. Integrated multimedia, including videos and flashcards for self-assessment. Bundled with the VitalSource ebooks of the Wolters Kluwer Bouvier Law Dictionary, Compact Edition and the supplement. Access to the Law Simulation Series Platform with ten videos covering key topics from the book. These experiential units give students a preview of practice, requiring creative investigation and negotiation skills for the solution of complex client-oriented problems. A more extensive treatment of tax shelters, with diagrams, than any existing introductory tax casebook.
