From Harvard Law Today—In December, Amy Feinberg ’18 became the second Federal Tax Clinic student to argue an appeal in a federal circuit court since the Clinic opened at Legal Services Center of Harvard Law School in 2015.

By Varsha Bhattacharya LL.M. '18—The moment I call a client, hear their story, and feel a direct connection with them; as their representative I feel a greater responsibility to give them the best chance in their cases.

From Federal Tax Clinic—Tax Clinic students and faculty fight for clients’ rights, file potentially precedent-setting appeals.

From Harvard Law Today—Keith Fogg, an expert in tax law and procedure and director of Harvard Law School’s Federal Tax Clinic at the Legal Services Center, has been named clinical professor of law at HLS.
