Virginia Tax Review

30 Years of Excellence....

For information on the 2012 Meeting of the Virginia Tax Study Group, visit our Events page.

Entering upon its 30th year, the Virginia Tax Review is one of the oldest student-run law journals at the University of Virginia School of Law. The journal focuses primarily on issues of federal and international taxation from an academic viewpoint. We are one of the top tax specialty journals and compete against peer-edited journals, such as NYU's Tax Law Review and the Florida Tax Review. Our published authors teach at many of the country's top-ranked law schools and are frequently among the Top 25 Tax Professors named by the Tax Prof Blog.

The Virginia Tax Review was founded in the Spring of 1980 by George Howell and Donald Delson and published its first issue in the Spring of 1981. The Virginia Tax Review received its initial funding from Mortimer Caplin of Caplin and Drysdale. The journal currently publishes four issues a year.
