Professional Investor Should Read

  • 4 issues of Tax Law & Policy (vol. 8, nos. 28-31)
  • 3 issues of Practitioner Series (vol. 7, nos. 18-20).
  • 2 issues of International & Comparative Tax (vol. 7, nos. 22-23) (co-edited with Robert A. Green (Cornell)).

Paul launched two new blogs as part of his Law Professor Blogs Network:

Two of Paul’s articles, Dead Poets and Academic Progenitors: The Next Generation of Law School Rankings, 81 Ind.
