Professor Sarah Lora Co-Authors Chapter on Tax Advocacy
Professor Sarah Lora, director of the Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC), co-authored a chapter in the International Handbook on Clinical Tax Education.
Professor Sarah Lora, director of the Low Income Taxpayer Clinic (LITC), co-authored a chapter in the International Handbook on Clinical Tax Education with Villanova University’s Professor Christine Speidel. In “Introducing Tax Advocacy to Students,” the authors highlight the essential public interest of low-income tax law and provide a blueprint for expanding clinical public interest work to law schools everywhere, outlining key curriculum components of multicultural lawyering, developing a reflective practice, and working with community members. It reflects the work the LITC does, providing free, need-based legal representation to low-income taxpayers. Lora guides and mentors students who, in turn, represent the clinic’s clients and gain experience in audits, appeals, trials, and hearings.
