Effectively Updating 'Effectively Representing'

Abstract

This is a book review whose main point is to note how the IRS Restructuring Act of 1998 created a new institutional voice: that of Low Income Tax Clinics. The fine treatise edited by T. Keith Fogg, entitled "Effectively Representing Your Client Before the IRS" is one way that new voice has found expression. The treatise is published by the ABA Section of Taxation. The review explains both the strengths and weaknesses of the treatise and the process that produced it.
