Tax Research

The Tax Concentration helps students build strong tax research skills so that they are prepared for tax practice, and the UC Law SF Library provides excellent support and resources for students studying and performing research in tax.

We make sure that students have access to, and become comfortable with, the tax research resources most commonly used by tax practitioners, including RIA Checkpoint, Tax Analysts’ publications (e.g., Tax Notes), Bloomberg Tax resources (e.g., BNA Tax Management Portfolios), WG&L treatises, Westlaw, Lexis, and more.  Our Federal Tax Law Research Guide helps students navigate these resources.  The law library, as part of its Research Certificate Program, also provides a hands-on training session about performing tax research.

Tax course textbooks and supplemental materials are generally available in the library’s course reserves, which can be found by searching here.
